<br /> 77-26 - "Consideration of an ordinance to amend the City Code pertaining to increased
<br />sewage treatment charges for areas outside the City of Portsmouth;and, increasing the rate
<br />for sePtic tank disposals..
<br />
<br /> The Hampton Roads Sanitation District Commission has increased the rates charged for
<br />treatment of sewage for all areas served by the Hampton Roads Sanitation District, This
<br />amendment will permit the City of Portsmouth to charge the same rates, in areas outside the
<br /> City limits where the City of Portsmouth provides sewer treatment services~ Also, Hampton
<br />Roads Sanitation has increased its dump.fees for septic tank trucks. This amendment will
<br />permit the City of Portsmouth to parallel Hampton Roads Sanitation on this fee. I would like
<br />to re-emphasize that this change does not affect any of the citizens living in the pre-1968
<br />boundaries. However, those residents in the Churchland area who are served by the Hampton
<br />Roads Sanitation District Commission will be receiving an increase from Hampton Roads.. The
<br />City Manager recommends adoption."

<br />on first and final reading, and by the following vote:
