CITY OF SELAH
NOTICE OF INFORMATIONAL PUBLIC MEETING- STUDY SESSION REGARDING SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION FEES
In accordance with the Washington State Administrative Code (WAC) 173-240-050 the City of Selah is required to plan for the growth and maintenance needs of its municipal sewer system. Furthermore, the City’s General Sewer Plan, which was adopted November 20, 2018, estimates that $32,983,000 in system upgrades are required to serve the present and future needs of the city. In response to these capital costs, the 2018 General Sewer Capital Improvement Plan recommends a $6,185.00 per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) (300 gallons per day) sewer connection fee be established.
In anticipation of these needed sewer connection fee increases, the City of Selah Public Works Department would like to invite the public and development community to a public meeting-study session to include an information presentation by Ted Pooler, PE of HLA Engineering and Surveying (City of Selah Engineer). The topics covered include development of the proposed sewer connection fees, possible options for phased implementation, and an audience questions and answer session following the presentation.
Open Public Informational Meeting: Notice is hereby given that on March 5, 2019, commencing at 5:30 P.M., or as soon thereafter as practical, the City of Selah will conduct an informational public meeting in the City of Selah Council Chambers at 115 Naches Ave. Selah, WA.
For copies of the draft ordinance and additional information and about the City’s planned sewer connection fees please see the City of Selah Public Works Department’s web site at: https://selahwa.gov/wastewater-sewer.
Dated this 20th day of February 2019.
