body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On November 4, 2026, the City Council conducted a public hearing, waived the first reading, and introduced Ordinance No. 2052 amending Lodi Municipal Code Section 13.12.181(C), Domestic Sewer Service Charges (Metered Accounts).
The ordinance updates the Municipal Code to reflect the City's existing winter water averaging methodology used to calculate residential sewer charges. The methodology averages water consumption during December, January, February, and March, excluding the month with the highest consumption. This amendment aligns the Municipal Code with current billing practices and does not change adopted sewer rates.
Ordinance No. 2052 is attached for Council consideration and adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact is anticipated, as the amendment formalizes the City's existing billing methodology and does not change adopted sewer rates.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Not Applicable
