Effective July 1, 2022, flat rates will be charged for each class of property as follows: Undeveloped ($0.00/month), and Residential ($6.50/month). Commercial/Industrial parcels are charged $6.50 per "equivalent residential unit" (ERU). ERU's are the average impervious area of residential developed property per dwelling unit located within the city as periodically determined and established by the City to be two thousand nine hundred seventy three (2,973) square feet of impervious surface area. The number of ERU on each property shall be calculated by the Engineering Department based on the most recent aerial photograph available to the city of Waukee and/or impervious surface data from an approved Site Plan for the property. The above rates are invoiced as of the last day of the month and billed on the customers combined service account through the City's Utility Billing Department. Bills shall be due and payable by the twentieth (20th) of the month following the end of each monthly billing cycle, with late payment penalties, liens, and discontinuation of service as outlined in Chapter 100 of the City of Waukee Code of Ordinance. Rates and billing procedures may be adjusted by the City from time to time.

At the above meeting the Council shall receive oral or written objections from any resident or property owner of the City, to the above action. After all objections have been received and considered, the Council will at this meeting or at any adjournment thereof, take additional action for the issuance of Bonds or will abandon the proposal to issue the Bonds.
