Council Minutes of 08-06-2013 AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION .~,-,, '~" Alex Rychlik, 27900 North Park spoke regarding an additional water meter being installed at homes, and if the city can lower the sewer rate for the residents in North Olmsted so they can water their lawns and not worry about the cost. Mayor Kennedy said he just installed a deduct meter in his home. He thinks he will be able to recoup the costs in a very short time. The sewer rates are what they are because the city has implemented a $40 million dollar EPA-mandated WWTP project. The rates are not just North Olmsted rates, but parts of Fairview Park and Olmsted Township that the city services. Those rates include those improvements, so the city will not change the sewer rates. Rychlik said he does not think a homeowner that just waters their lawn will recoup the costs of having a deduct meter installed.
