In the wake of the Metropolitan Council decision to revamp the formula used to calculate the Sewer Access Charge in the Metro Area, KDWA asked Hastings City Administrator Melanie Mesko-Lee about the City’s response to the changes. City Administrator Lee stated that the changes came after careful deliberation from a cross section, which included local government and business representatives. The calculation simplification offers a level of transparency, which is intended to reduce confusion. She added that we all have an obligation to have appropriate and sustainable practices in place, which protect our long-term infrastructure needs that benefit communities, businesses, and residents. Details of the adjustment to the SAC charges are available to read at KDWA.com.
