Each individual term ended on October 1, 2024. The existing agreements allow for the selection of a rate consultant no later than October 1, 2018, to develop an initial utility price for the calendar year beginning October 1, 2019.
The contract under consideration would allow the Metropolitan Government and the above entities to select a new rate consultant no later than December 1, 2023, to develop the initial utility price for the calendar year beginning on October 1, 2024. The parties would then develop long-term agreements to safely accept and treat sewage flows from all parties involved. The remaining terms of the individual agreements and individual amendments would remain in full force and effect.
