MSD needs to balance its budget, just like everyone else. We begin this process every summer and complete it by December for the coming year.
We have two budgets:
MSD also conducts annual rate studies to determine if a sewer rate increase is needed to cover the costs of operating and maintaining the district and complying with our Consent Decree.
The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) is responsible for approving MSD's budgets and rate increases. As part of the process, MSD typically submits its proposed budgets to the BoCC in August followed by meetings with the County over the next several months to fine-tune the proposals. The BoCC hosts a public hearing(s) in November or December prior to final approval of the budgets/rate increases in December.
