The Village of Shiloh adjusted its Sewer Department rates at their November 7, 2011 Board Meeting. Since the mid 1990’s the Village has absorbed yearly increases for sewage collection, transport and sewer treatment, utilizing growth tap on fees and revenue from the sale of the old Water Department (since this is basically the same service area.) The tap on fee revenue has significantly decreased and the Water Department funds are nearly exhausted while maintenance costs of the approximately 25 year old sewer system continue to increase. Board Members recently approved over $100,000.00 to reline some of the sewer manholes. More extensive maintenance is needed in the next few years. The new rate will allow Shiloh Sewer Department to cover the treatment and maintenance cost necessary to maintain its aging system.
Note: This rate adjustment is for customers in the Village of Shiloh Sewer Service Area only and does not affect those in the St. Clair Township Sewer District, Caseyville Township Sewer District or the City of Belleville Sewer System.
1. Rate.
a. The basic user charge shall be based on water usage as recorded by water meters and/or sewage meters. The minimum sewage charge shall be:
i. In Village limits: $21.75 minimum per (plus see * below);
ii. In Village limits: Customers not directly billed by Illinois American Water Company: $29.25 per month;
iii. Outside Village limits: $27.00 per month minimum (plus see * below);
iv. Outside Village limits: Customers not directly billed by Illinois American Water Company: $36.75 per month.
*An additional charge of $0.0354 per cubic foot of water usage will be assessed to the volume exceeding 260 cubic feet per month.
b. To determine the number of minimum sewage charges for multiple units owned by a single customer, multiply the basic user charge times the number of dwelling units.
c. If a customer’s waste water exceeds the average concentration for residential users, a surcharge shall be levied for all excess BOD at the rate of $0.87 per pound and for all excess SS at the rate of $7.60 per pound.
