NOTICE OF CHANGE TO BILLING CYCLE FOR SEWER CHARGE AND PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 26, 2010, the Town Council (the “Council”) of the Town of Stevensville, Montana (the “Town”), adopted a Resolution of Intention of the Town of Stevensville, Montana to Modify the Billing Cycle for the Users of the Municipal Sewer System From Quarterly to Monthly and Conforming the Rates and Charges Accordingly.

The Council of the Town recently increased the rates and charges of the System following a public hearing pursuant to Resolution No. 255, adopted by the Council on May 10, 2010 (the “Prior Resolution”) and currently charges users of its municipal sewer system (the “System”) on a quarterly basis, as described in the Prior Resolution.

The Town utilizes an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) methodology for imposing rates and charges, which is based on the size of the water line or meter servicing each connection. The Town currently charges users of the System a base rate charge per EDU per quarter (the “Base Rate Charge”). The Town also imposes a quarterly charge per EDU to pay debt service on the Town’s sewer revenue bonds (the “Debt Service Charge”). The sum of the Base Rate Charge plus the Debt Service Charge is referred to herein as the “Quarterly Charge.”

The Town intends to change its current quarterly billing cycle to a monthly billing cycle and implement such change effective as of its October 1, 2010 sewer billing, simultaneously with the effective date of an increase to the Town’s water rates and charges. The monthly sum of the Base Rate Charge plus the monthly Debt Service Charge is referred to herein as the Monthly Charge. The total dollar amount of the Quarterly Charge is not being increased; only the frequency of payment for sewer service is changing from quarterly to monthly. The Monthly Charge is derived by dividing the Quarterly Charge by three such that the sum of the Monthly Charges over a calendar quarter is equal to the Quarterly Charge.
