INTRODUCTION
The City of Hudson owns and operates a wastewater collection system and Wastewater
Treatment Facility that provides wastewater service to just over 7,600 customers within the City
of Hudson and the Village of North Hudson. The City serves the Village on a retail basis and covers
the costs of limited operation and maintenance of the Village’s collection system, but the Village
is responsible for major repairs, rehabilitation, and replacement for its collection mains and lift
stations. About 16 percent of billable wastewater flows over the past five years have been from
the Village of North Hudson, and approximately 84 percent were from the customers within the
City of Hudson, on average. The City is required to treat at its wastewater treatment plant:
organic pollutants (BOD), suspended solids (TSS), phosphorus and ammonia (NH-3). The City last
increased wastewater rates in January of 2019.
IMPETUS FOR STUDY
The sewer utility is planning on significant capital investment in upgrades to the Wastewater
Treatment Facility in the amount of $ 12,700,000, equipment replacement, and ongoing
replacement of s ewer infrastructure as needed . For these reasons, the City hired Trilogy
Consulting to conduct a formal Sewer User Rate Study. The study consisted of determining
recommended user rates based on a detaile d cost of service study for 2020, and cash flow
projections, including future rate increases. A 25-year projection of user rates and cash flows was
prepared to develop a plan to complete all necessary capital improvement projects and meet all
debt requirements while maintaining the financial health of the Utility.
STUDY METHODOLOGY
The study is generally organized into three sections:
1. An analysis of historical conditions including historical revenues, expenses, and usage.
2. Projections for the next twenty-five years, including billed wastewater usage projections,
and projections of future operating and maintenance expenses. The analysis took into
consideration the City’s 5-year capital improvement needs, as well as estimates of capital
improvements for years 6 -25 based on prior years’ investments and scheduled annual
debt service payments for existing utility debt. Utility capital funding in future years
includes connection fees, revenues generated from annual rates, new debt issuances and
utility reserves.
3. Allocation of costs and detailed rate calculations for the ‘test year’ or target year for the
immediate rate increase(s). In this study, 2022 was used as the year when the full amount
of debt service payments for the Wastewater Treatment Facility upgrades will be in place.

The user rates were calculated using a cash -based method. The cash -based method calculates
rates to recover the cost of operating and maintena nce expenses, administrative expenses,
annual debt servic e and any debt coverage requirements , annual capital outlay expenses,
transfers to the City collection system replacement fund and to the Village for collection system
costs, and deposits into reserve funds, if necessary.

SEWER RATE STUDY
SUMMARY
The purpose of this study was to recommend rates that will collect adequate revenues for the
City of Hudson Wastewater Utility to fulfill all its current and upcoming obligations. Specifically,
revenues need to be adequate to recover operation and maintenance expenses, debt service,
transfers to the City collection system replacement fund and to the Village for collection system
costs, and annual capital improvements . These current revenues will be combined with the
reserves in the wastewater fund to fund the capital improvement plan.
The results of the study indicate a significant rate increase of about 47 percent by 2022. This
overall level of rate increases is recommended to fund the utility’s ongoing operating expenses
and $17.3 million capital improvement program for 2020 through 2024 and to maintain an
adequate level of reserve funds available to cover ongoing equipment replacements, unexpected
replacement and rehabilitation needs, or unexpected fluctuations in revenues or expenses .
Significant capital improvements in this plan include Wastewater Treatment Facil ity (WWTF)
improvements estimated at $12.7 million, the Hwy 35/2 nd Street sewer replacement project
estimated at $1.69 million, a new jet truck at $450,000, and approximately $550,000 per year of
miscellaneous replacements and rehabilitation projects at the Wastewater Treatment Plant for
2022-2024, based on past history.
Of the $17.1 million in capital projects included in the projections, $12.7 million would be funded
through debt using the State Clean Water Fund program , $1.0 million from the City’s sewer
collection system replacement fund, $1.5 million from general utility reserves paid in by past
customers and the remaining $1.9 million through annual revenues generated through user
charges, connection charges, interest income and other revenues.
Currently, the City’s wastewater rates are some of the lowest in Hudson’s geographic region.
Following this recommendation would increase rates significantly, yet rates would remain below
average in the region, not considering any increases to wastewater rates that other communities
may also implement in the interim.
Following implementation of the rates for 2020 through 2022, a plan for additional inflationary
cost-of-living type rate increases is recommended for consideration by the City Council. These
increases should be evaluated on an annual basis and adjusted for changing conditions, such as
an increase in sales or unexpected capital needs. The recommended rate increases for 2020
through 2022 would increase the utility’s user charge revenues by a total of about $1.03 million
per year by 2022.

HISTORICAL AND FORECAST CUSTOMER DEMANDS
The following table shows the analysis of historical trends in total wastewater treated at the
wastewater treatment plant, as well as number of customers, customer volume of wastewater
and estimated loadings (BOD, TSS, phosphorus and NH -3) for domestic strength customers. The
Utility does not currently serve any known high -strength sewer customers at this time but may
in the future. However, it does receive a small amount of leachate from a local landfill; currently,
there is no charge for accepting this waste.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent
The total volume of wastewater treated at the plant has fluctuated some over the past several
years, with a dip in 2017 and an increase in 2019. However, the ‘billable’ flow , or wastewater
generated by customers, has fluctuated more during the same time, with 2019 flows being down
compared to prior years. The remaining volume is clearwater infiltration and inflow, water that
seeps into the system via cracks in wastewater mains or customer service laterals, or through
sewer manholes. At certain times of year , such as periods of high precipitation, infiltration and
inflow (I/I) may be the majority of water volume arriving at the treatment plant. Wastewater
entering the plant is sampled daily for wastestrengths, so the total pounds of BOD entering the
plant per year can be estimated. Total pounds of these constituents have seen a steady decline
in the last several years, before an uptick during 2019. To make sure the all customers are charged
fairly, surcharge rates were calculated as a part of this study in case the Utility samples customers
that should be charged for high-strength flows for any of the constituent loadings in the future.
Forecast flows for 2020 through 2022 follow trends over the previous five years, as shown in the
next table. It should be noted that at the time this study was being completed, the City was in
the midst of the global COVID -19 pandemic, with effects on billed water and sewer demand
unknown as of yet. This was not factored into the long-term projections, as it is assumed that any
impacts will be temporary, but revenues during the pandemic may be higher or lower than
expected during a normal year. In addition, the assumptions used in this study should b e
reviewed post-pandemic to determine whether any impacts on water and sewer use were
temporary or if longer-term structural changes resulted.

Customer Demand
The Wastewater Utility mostly serves domestic sewage customers (residential, multi -family,
commercial, industrial and public authority, i.e. government); it does not have any high strength
customers currently and the only hauled waste is a small amount of leachate from a local landfill,
which is not currently charged. However, if any increase in monitoring indicates that there could
be high strength customers that the Utility is unaware of , or if a new customer is known to
discharge high-strength waste, then they may be charged surcharges for higher than domestic
strength pollutant loadings.
Domestic Waste
The volume of domestic strength waste has fluctuated over the last three year s, resulting from
changes within all customer classes. The estimates of pounds of pollutant loadings for domestic
strength waste are based on current domestic strength assumptions of 300 mg/l for BOD, 300
mg/l for TSS, 8 mg/l for phosphorus, and 40 mg/l for NH-3. A comparison of total pounds being
treated at the plant versus estimated pounds from domestic strength sewage indicated that
those assumptions are reasonable. Additional sampling at the treatment plant in the future may
result in a need for those assumptions to be adjusted, but there is no need to do so at present.
Forecast Revenues at Present Rates
The table below shows the forecast revenues at present rates for the test year, based on the
forecast number of customers and volume of sewer usage. The City currently charges the
following user charges:
• Sewer Usage Charge of $3.00 per hundred cubic feet of wastewater (estimated based on
metered water use) for all users. This rate is comprised of $2.88 per hundred cubic feet
for collection system operation and maintenance and WWTP operation, maintenance,
and capital, and a trunk line and lift station replacement charge of $0.12 per hundred
cubic feet . Revenues from the trunk line and lift station replacement charge are
transferred to the Village of North Hudson and to the City’s sewer collection system
replacement fund based on the amount of billable flows from each municipality. For 2015
through 2019, approximately 16 percent of these revenues , or $11,000 per year, were
transferred to the Village, and 84 percent, or $58,000 per year, to the City’s replacement
fund.
• Flat Charge based on the size of customer’s water meter
City of Hudson
2021 Sewer Rate Study

Forecast user charge revenues of $2,031,586 for the test year of 2022 are higher than 2018 user
charge revenues of $ 1,900,341 due to projected growth in the number of customers and billed
usage through 2022.

HISTORICAL AND FORECAST OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSE
The following table shows the actual O&M expenses for 2015 through 2018, budgeted 2019 and
2020 expenses, a 4-year trend analysis and forecast expenses for 2020 through 2022. Some
categories of expenses that fluctuate substantially from year to year were normalized to reflect
historical average expenses or the 4-year trend analysis. Electricity, chemicals, and biosolids costs
were forecast based on the forecast wastewater influent. These adjustments were done to reflect
a typical year so that the O&M expenses can be projected for future years. As shown the

projected O&M expense for 2020 used for cash flow forecasting purposes was $1,841, 589, or
approximately 2.0 percent higher than actual 2018 expenses. Future years’ O&M expenses are
forecast to increase by 2.0 percent per year.

HISTORICAL AND FORECAST CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Between 2015 and 2019, the Utility invested almost $2.0 million, or an average of just under
$400,000 per year, in capital improvements and equipment replacement . Most of this amount
was for WWTP improvements and communications, vehicles, and other general equipment.
The Utility’s forecast capital improvements for 20 20 through 202 4 includes $ 17.1 million of
capital improvements and equipment. Of this amount, $1.69 million is for the Hwy 35/2nd Street
trunk sewer replacement project. The rest is for improvements and upgrades to the WWTP , as
well as vehicles and other general equipment.
Of this amount, $ 12.7 million for major upgrades to the WWTP in 2020 and 2021 is planned to
be borrowed through the Wisconsin Clean Water Fund program . The Hwy 35/2 nd Street trunk
sewer replacement will be funded in part with funds from the City’s sewer collection system
replacement fund and in part with utility reserves. Other capital expenditures will be funded in
part with current revenues and in part with reserves. In total, the Utility plans to issue $12.7
million in debt, use $1.5 million of sewer utility reserves and $1.0 million of sewer collection
system replacement reserves, and fund the remaining $1.9 million with current revenues.
With the borrowing for the WWTP upgrades , annual debt service is projected to increase f rom
no debt service currently to just over $784,000 per year by 2022.

• Maintaining the utility’s reserves above recommended levels – Recommended reserve
levels include operating reserves to manage cash flow or fluctuations in revenues or
expenses, any restricted debt reserves, and capital reserves for unplanned capital costs.
Wastewater utilities that have a loan through the state’s Clean Water Fund Program are
also required to maintain an equipment replacement fund to pay for replacement of
mechanical and other equipment;
• Avoiding or mitigating the need for issuance of new debt for routine wastewater main
and equipment replacement; and
• Percentage of debt financing versus equity.
As of December 31, 2018, the wastewater utility had total reserve funds totaling $ 6,321,807.
About $1.95 million of this total w as held in a restricted account for equipment replacement ,
meaning it cannot be used for any other use than the designated use, such as operating losses or
ongoing capital improvements. The remaining $4.37 million was unrestricted, meaning it can be
used for any purpose, including capital improvements, operating expenses, or debt service
payments. Additionally, the City maintains a Sewer Collection System Replacement Fund within
its general funds, which had a balance of $1,076,512. This fund is to be used for replacement of
sewer main throughout the City.
The cash flow analysis developed a recommended minimum amount of reserves the Utility
should keep on hand, for those purposes and as a rate stabilizer. This amount was determined to
be $3.7 million to $3.8 million for the next several years, comfortably below the Utility’s actual
reserve levels as of the end of 2018.
All the alternative cash flow scenarios were based on the following common assumptions:
• Inflation of approximately two percent per year in operation and maintenance expenses;
• Continuation of a similar level of other operating revenues and non -operating revenues
as contained in the 2020 budget;
• Any debt issuance for the treatment plant would be for 20 years at the current interest
rate of 1.65% through the Clean Water Fund loan program; any future debt issuances
would be for 20 years at 3.50% interest with level annual payments;
• Recommended reserve levels include the following:
o Operating reserve equal to 3 months of annual operating expenses;
o Debt service reserve equal to current year’s debt service payments;
o Equipment replacement fund equal to the estimated year -end 2019 level of
$2,044,440 – this fund currently has a larger balance than necessary, but may need
to be adjusted based on final costs of the W astewater Treatment Facility
upgrades;
City of Hudson
2021 Sewer Rate Study
18
o Depreciation/Capital reserve equal to $500,000 for emergency replacement of
critical infrastructure.
The following charts show the five cash flow alternatives that were prepared: one with zero
increase to rates (do-nothing alternative), one showing all of the increase occurring at the
beginning of 2021, and three alternatives for phasing the increase in over two increases, one at
the beginning of 2021 and a second increase at the beginning of 2022. All the rate increase
scenarios also include future rate increases of 2.0 percent every other year. The three options
that were explored for phasing the rate increase were as follows:
• An increase in user charge revenues of approximately 38.0 percent in 2021 a nd 11.0
percent in 2022. The rate increase of 38.0 percent would provide revenues sufficient to
pay debt service on the Clean Water Fund (CWF) loan for the WWTF project plus the
required 10 percent debt coverage. The second rate increase is recommended to allow
the Utility to cash fund capital improvements other than the WWTF project without
significant negative cash flow.
• An increase of 11.0 percent in 2021 and another increase of 38.0 percent in 2022. Since
the Utility will not have to make full principal and interest payments on the CWF loan until
2022, the full rate increase needed to provide debt coverage could be delayed until 2022.
The smaller increase in 2021, could however, result in the need for larger or more
frequent rate increases in future years.
• A third option was to implement the rate increase in equal steps in 2021 and 2022. To
achieve the overall target of a 46.5 percent rate increase by 2022, two increases of
approximately 23.7 percent could be implemented.

Key findings and recommendations regarding the utility’s financial condition are as follows:
• The utility has had fluctuating cash flow for several years but had negative cash flow in
2019, with most of the capital additions being funded through reserves.
• Utility reserve levels are above the minimum recommended amount. However, without
an increase, reserves are expected to drop below the recommended minimum in 2021
and be completely depleted by 202 4 or 2025, due to the debt service on the treatment
plant upgrades.
• The utility is currently free of debt.
• The utility has utility-financed capital improvements totaling $17.1 million, or an average
of $3.4 million per year, planned for the period 20 20-2024, with 12.7 million of that for
the 2020/2021 upgrades at the treatment plant.
City of Hudson
2021 Sewer Rate Study

• An increase in user charge revenues of appr oximately 46.5 percent is recommended to
generate sufficient revenues to fund the expected level of expenses, the capital
improvement program, and projected debt service while maintaining the cash reserves
at the recommended level. A rate increase of 38.0 percent is required to provide revenues
sufficient to pay debt service on the Clean Water Fund loan for the WWTF project plus
the required 10 percent debt coverage. The remainder of the increase is recommended
to allow the Utility to cash fund routine capital improvements to the WWTF and additions
and replacements to vehicles, communication equipment and other general equipment
without significant negative cash flow.
• Additional future rate increases may be warranted , depending on actual sales and
expenses. The projected cash flows include 2.0 percent increases every other year, in
2024, 2026 and 2028. With the rate increases and the use of reserves, it is expected that
the utility will not need to issue debt for any other planned capital projects anticipated
during the next five years and may not need to issue debt for a longer period of time.
• Under the recommended plan, approximately $1.5 million of the Utility’s cash reserves
would be used to fund a portion of the capital improvement program, with an additional
$1.0 million from the City Sewer Collection System Replacement fund used for the Hwy
35 / 2nd Street reconstruction.
• In total, with the recommended plan, the Utility’s cash reserves are projected to decrease
from $5.9 million to $4.4 million in the Wastewater Utility fund, and from $1.15 million
to $453,000 in the Sewer Collection System Fund between 2019 and 2024.
The f ollowing tables show the forecast cash flows with the three options for phasing in the
recommended rate increase. It should be noted that these future projections of cash flow are for
planning purposes only. The City and the Utility should continue to assess the financial, physical,
and operational conditions of the utility on an annual basis to respond to changing conditions
and make decisions regarding which capital improvement projects to undertake, how those
projects should be financed and the appropriate rate increase that may be needed to meet future
revenue requirements.

REVENUE REQUIREMENTS AND COST-OF-SERVICE ANALYSIS
The tables attached to this report as an appendix show the detailed revenue requirements and
the cost of service analysis based on projected 2022 revenue requirements . The cost of service
analysis allocates the utility’s revenue requirements first to utility functions and then to each
customer class. Rates were calculated to recover the costs for 2022, and then stepped -in rates
for 2021 were developed to phase in the rate increase . Finally, the estimated revenues at the
proposed rates for 2020 through 2022 were calculated . Utility revenue requirements include
operation and maintenance expense, debt service, and capital improvements.
Costs were first allocated to the functions served by the utility. Each of the utility’s costs was
split between costs to provide collector sewer conveyance, wastewater treatment for average
daily volume, costs to provide peak (maximum day) treatment capacity, costs to treat pollutant
loadings (BOD, TSS, phosphorus and NH -3), and customer costs that are relatively fixed per
customer or meter.
Costs were then allocated to each customer class (residential, multi -family, commercial,
industrial, public authority ) based on the demand characteristics of each customer class. A
portion of the conveyance system, average day and peak d ay flow costs were allocated to
infiltration and inflow (I/I) based on forecast percentage of I/I on an average and peak day basis.
Costs allocated to I/I are proposed to be recovered through the flat charge, as the amount of I/I
in the system is related more closely to the number of customers, size of sewer laterals and feet
of sewer main rather than the volume of wastewater generated by each customer.
PROPOSED RATE SCHEDULE
The targeted overall increase in user charge revenues by 2022 is approximately 46.5 percent. The
following tables show the specific schedule of rates for 2021 and 2022 under each of the three
options for phasing in the rate increase. Rate increases for specific types of charges vary from the
overall rate increase.

COMMUNITY RATE COMPARISON
To provide context for the proposed rates for Hudson, a comparison with the sewer user rates
charged by other communities in the region was prepared. The two communities in Minnesota
included in the comparison were chosen because they have their own wastewater treatment
plant and are comparable to Hudson. The basis of the charges, and the estimated total annual
bill for a residential customer for each community are shown in the following table. As shown,
for a customer using 4,850 cubic feet or 36,278 gallons of water per year, the estimated annual
sewer bill under current Hudson rates would be $175.90 per year. Under the proposed rates for
2022, this would increase to $ 257.33, or a total increase of $ 20.36 per quarter. Even with th e

increase, the average bill would remain significantly below the average or median bill for the
other regional communities.
Table 12 - Regional Comparison of Average Residential Bills
A similar comparison was prepared for a n average non -residential customer in Hudson using
28,700 cubic feet , or 214,676 gallons per year , with a 3/4” meter . Under current rates , this
customer would receive an annual bill of $ 894.80. Under the proposed increase for 2022, the
annual bill would increase to $1,316.15, or an increase of $105.34 per quarter. Again, this would
keep the average non-residential bill well below the median for the region.

RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the City phase in the rate increase according to one of the schedules
shown in Tables 8-10 and continue to monitor the financial health of the utility for the necessity
of additional future rate increases as presented in the cash flow forecasts. This will allow the
Wastewater Utility to generate the revenue needed to provide adequate funding for the
utility’s operation and maintenance expenses and capital improvement program while
maintaining the utility’s reserve funds at the recommended levels.

ORDINANCE __ - 21
CITY OF HUDSON, WISCONSIN
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 198 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF HUDSON
TO REVISE SEWER SERVICE CHARGES AND CONNECTION FEES
WHEREAS, the City of Hudson caused a Sewer Rate Study and a Connection Fee Study for
Sanitary Sewer Facilities to be prepared; and
WHEREAS, these studies recommended changes to the City’s sewer rates and sewer connection
fees;
THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUDSON HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 198-10 of the Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:
§ 198-10. Sewer service charges and connection fees.
A. A quarterly sewer service charge and meter charge are hereby imposed and shall be
paid by the owner or occupants of each lot, parcel of land, building or premises served
by the wastewater treatment works or otherwise discharging wastewater (including
industrial waste) into the wastewater treatment works. It shall be the policy of the City
to establish sewer service charges in such amount as to obtain sufficient revenues to
pay operation and maintenance costs including contributions to a replacement fund,
debt service, including any debt service reserves and coverage requirements, and
annual capital outlay. Those aspects of sewer service charges relating to operation,
maintenance and replacement fund shall be in accord with any relevant and applicable
requirements imposed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources or by federal
law. The sewer service charge and meter charge shall be paid as herein provided in an
amount determined as follows:
(1) A sewer service charge is hereby imposed to recover the component of total
operation, maintenance, and capital costs of the sewer system which relates to
sewage flow attributable to users of the system. The sewer service charge shall be
based on the cost of conveying and treating flow, BOD and suspended solids at the
strength of domestic wastewater. The sewer service charge shall consist of a
volumetric charge in terms of dollars per hundred cubic feet ($/ccf) for operation
and maintenance of the collection system, and operation, maintenance, and
replacement of the wastewater treatment works, and a surcharge in terms of dollars
per hundred cubic feet ($/ccf) for trunk sewer line and lift station replacement. The
sewer service charge for any parcel of land, building or premises served by the
wastewater treatment works shall be based upon the quantity of water used as
measured by the water meter in use.
(2) Quarterly meter charge.
(a) A quarterly meter charge will be imposed to cover customer costs, including
billing and the maintenance cost of the meters and services. The meter charge
will be imposed as a flat fee per meter based on meter size.
(b) The minimum sewer meter charge will be based on the quarterly meter charge
(prorated for new and closed accounts or for those with meter removals).
(3) Measurement by meter; determination by Utility Director.
(c) When a lot, parcel of land, building or premises discharging wastewater
(including industrial waste) into the wastewater treatment works is a user of
water not supplied by the City, the amount of water used shall be measured by
a meter.
(d) When it is impossible or impracticable to measure the amount of water being
used, the Utility Director shall determine, in such manner as he finds practicable,
the sewer service charge under Subsection A(1). Such determination may be
appealed to the Council. In such cases, the Utility Director may, after approval by
the Council, establish a flat rate for sewage services or authorize the installation,
at the owner's expense, of a sewage meter.
(4) Whenever the Utility Director determines that any lot, parcel of land, building or
premises is discharging wastes of unusual volume, concentration or character or of
greatly variable volume, a special rate shall be adopted for such user. The special
rate is to ensure that all users pay their proportionate share of wastewater
treatment cost.
(a) The special rate shall be determined by the formula:
Cu = (Vc x Vu) + (Bc x Bu) + (Sc x Su) + (Pc x Pu)
Where:
Cu = User charge in dollars per year.
Vc = Cost of the wastewater treatment works attributed to 100 cubic
feet of wastewater volume.
Vu = Volume of wastewater from the user per year measured in
hundreds of cubic feet.
Bc = Cost of the wastewater treatment works attributed to 100 pounds
of BOD.
Bu = Amount of BOD from the user per year measured in hundreds of
pounds.
Sc = Cost of the wastewater treatment works attributed to 100 pounds
of suspended solids.
Su = Amount of suspended solids from the user per year measured in
hundreds of pounds.
Pc = Cost of the wastewater treatment works attributed to any unit of
any pollutant.
Pu = Amount of any pollutant from the user per year.
(b) The minimum service charge rate shall be equal to the rate set under Subsection
A(1).
(c) "Domestic waste" shall be defined as follows: "normal domestic strength
wastewater" shall mean wastewater with concentrations of BOD and suspended
solids no greater than 300 milligrams per liter respectively. Discharges in excess
of either of these concentrations shall be surcharged at the rate per pound
determined by the formula contained in Subsection A(4)(a) through (c).
(5) Wastewater contributions from users shall be reviewed at least biannually, and the
sewer services charges shall be adjusted as required to recover actual costs.
(6) Proportionate distribution of operation, maintenance, replacement, and capital
costs shall be maintained among wastewater treatment work users.
(7) Sufficient revenues to pay for total operation and maintenance costs including
contributions to a replacement fund, debt service, including any debt service
reserves and coverage requirements, and annual capital outlay shall be generated by
the sewer service charge system.
(7)(8) Operation and maintenance costs may include an allowance for North Hudson
sewer collection system costs to the extent payment of such costs is required by
contract.
(8)(9) Sewer service charge rates, meter charge rates, and special rates, and a North
Hudson sewer collection system allowance, if applicable, shall be established by
resolution of the Common Council.
B. Payment.
(1) The sewage service charge shall be payable to the Clerk within 20 days of the billing
date.
(2) A late payment charge of 1% shall be added to all sewer bills not paid within 20 days
from the billing date. Thereafter, a late penalty charge of 1% per month shall be
added each month upon the unpaid balance. If any bill is not paid within 60 days
from the billing date, the customer may be notified, in writing, that unless payment
or satisfactory arrangement for payment is made within the next five days, the
water services to the premises may be turned off. After such period, service may be
discontinued and may not be restored until full payment of all sewer service charges
and penalties due thereon.
(3) Unpaid utility bills will be transferred to the tax roll pursuant to W.S.A. § 66.0809.
C. Disposition of revenue. The amounts received from the charges authorized by this
section shall be credited to a separate account which shall show all receipts and
expenditures to the wastewater treatment works. The credits to such account shall be
available for payment of:
(1) Principal and interest of bonds which may be issued to provide funds for wastewater
treatment works.
(2) Cash funded capital outlay.
(3) Any required cash reserve account payment.
(4) Operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment works, including a
separate replacement fund. The replacement fund shall be a cash account to be
used for future expenditures for obtaining or installing equipment, accessories or
appurtenances which are necessary to maintain the capacity and performance of the
wastewater treatment works through the service of life for which such works were
designed and constructed.
(4)(5) North Hudson sewer collection system allowance.
D. Sewer service charges as a lien. All charges established hereunder shall be a lien upon
the property served pursuant to W.S.A. § 66.076(7) and shall be collected in the manner
therein provided.
E. Sewer connection charge.
(1) Sewer connection charges for buildings not presently connected to the wastewater
treatment works, or for buildings that have a change in use that requires a larger
water meter, shall be based on equivalent residential meters based on the following
schedule. For buildings with a change in use the charge would be the difference
between the amount for the existing meter size and the amount for the proposed
meter size. Buildings connecting directly to the City’s collection system will be
charged both the conveyance and treatment connection charges. Buildings
connecting to the wastewater treatment works via a collection system outside of the
City will be charged the treatment connection charge only.

(2) The sewer connection charge shall automatically increase effective each January 1
by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the 20-City Construction Cost
Index published by the Engineering News Record over the most recent 12-month
period, unless the City, by resolution, limits the fee increase to a lesser percentage
rate.shall be subject to review and establishment by the Common Council.
F. Other charges may be imposed when a customer requests special services such as a
special billing or meter reading outside of the normal schedule. Rates for special
services will be the same as the rates ordered by the Public Service Commission for the
water utility for Other Charges as shown on Schedule OC-1 of the Rate File.
SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines any section, clause,
provision or portion of this ordinance to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, the

HUDSON PUBLIC UTILITIES ISSUE SHEET
DATE: January 12, 2021
SUBMITTED TO: PUC
SUBMITTED BY: Utility Director Peters
REGARDING: Upcoming agenda items for information only
ISSUE: I wanted to inform the PUC of a few upcoming agenda items I am currently working on. This is
for informational purposes only.
1. Evaluate options with PSC (Public Service Commission) and DNR (Department of Natural Resources) on
moving forward with North Hudson becoming their own utility by 2022 or sooner. No communication
has been received since “Notice of Termination of 1983 Water Agreement” letter was sent to the Village
on September 29, 2020.
2. Cancelation/termination of the existing 1979 Wastewater Agreement with a 1991 amendment with
North Hudson.
a. The 1983 Water Agreement with North Hudson was noticed and terminated on January 1, 2021.
Since the 1979 Wastewater Agreement is also outdated and vague, naturally this agreement
should follow suit.
3. Cancelation/termination of the existing 1979 Interceptor Agreement with North Hudson.
a. The 1983 Water Agreement with North Hudson was noticed and terminated on January 1, 2021.
Since the 1979 Interceptor Agreement is also outdated and vague, naturally this agreement
should follow suit.
4. Establishing a sewer rate/surcharge for the Village of North Hudson to recover outstanding and future
expenses related to major repairs incurred at the Riverside Dr. lift station.
