NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
BEAR LAKE
SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT
NOTICE IS
HEREBY GIVEN that the Bear Lake Special Service District will hold a public
hearing to receive public comment regarding proposed adjustments to District
sewer rates and fees and proposed provisions concerning access to District
sewer manholes and related facilities.
1. Proposed Sewer Rate
and Fee Adjustments
The District is
considering adjustments to its existing sewer rates and fees to ensure that
revenues are sufficient to operate, maintain, repair, replace, and improve the
District's wastewater collection and treatment system.
The proposed
adjustments are being considered based on the District's current and
anticipated operating, maintenance, repair, equipment, regulatory, and capital
improvement needs, as well as the findings and recommendations of a sewer rate
study conducted for the District by the Rural Water Association of Utah.
The proposed rate
adjustments are intended to provide adequate funding for continued operation
and maintenance of the existing system, replacement of aging infrastructure and
equipment, necessary repairs and improvements, and long-term system needs.
2. Proposed Manhole
Access and Obstruction Provisions
The District is also
considering provisions to ensure that sewer manholes and other District
facilities remain visible and reasonably accessible for inspection,
maintenance, repair, and emergency response.
Property
owners with buried, covered, obstructed, or otherwise inaccessible District
manholes or facilities may be provided notice and a reasonable opportunity to
correct the condition and restore access. Any fines, penalties, or costs
imposed in connection with violations would be subject to applicable law and
District ordinances, resolutions, or policies.
