ESTABLISHING WATER USAGE RATES FOR THE CITY OF MOAB
Whereas, water usage charges are the primary source of revenue for the City of Moab Water
Enterprise Fund; and
Whereas, revenues from water usage charges are currently not sufficient in amount to cover the
Water Enterprise Fund's regular operational costs; and
Whereas, the Moab Governing Body deems it necessary to increase water usage charges in an
amount to cover the regular operational costs of the Water Fund; and
Whereas, the Moab Governing Body should establish sewer rates by resolution;

HEREBY RESOLVE TO ADOPT THE CITY OF MOAB RATE SCHEDULES AS
