RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING OUTSIDE WATER CONNECTION CHARGES
WHEREAS, the Village of Mendota Heights has, in the past, provided
central sewer and water service to properties outside the municipal

levied in Mendota Heights; and
WHEREAS, water service charges, in the form of assessments, have
amounted to as high as $250 for each apartment and $450 per townhouse
unit located in Mendota Heights; and

recommendation of the Administrator and Engineer, before connection is made
to the Mendota Heights system. '
