Adopted Budget (Final Document)

Wastewater Operations (continued)

Financial Comments The 2017 Wastewater Master Plan outlined capital improvements necessary to maintain the City’s wastewater system. Following the Master Plan, the City Council adopted a rate study for wastewater in 2019. Wastewater rates are updated annually in accordance with the rate study. Funding for Morgan Hill’s portion of the operating costs of the South County Regional Wastewater Authority is included within the Division’s budget. The City plans on completing an update to the Wastewater Master Plan next year; this will allow staff to update the needs of the wastewater system in relation to future infrastructure projects and the plan for funding for those projects.

Included in this budget are salary adjustments and/or reclassifications of certain positions to address retention and recruitment issues that have been impacting the City.
