Finance Director Dave Sanderson recently reported to the Lehi City Council that even with a recent water rate increase, the city's water fund is operating at a loss. He said the city might have to raise water rates slightly on July 1 but is hopeful there might be a reduction in Timpanogos Special Service District fees.
The TSSD provides wastewater collection and treatment service to Lehi and other northern Utah County cities. He said he has discussed the amount of funds the TSSD has in reserve with TSSD board members and has requested a reduction in sewer fees. If something isn't done, the city may have to file a lawsuit, he said.
He also told the council that he might have to move funds from the city's rainy day fund to help the fleet fund.
Auditor Ian Robbins, of Osborn, Robbins, & Buhler, reported that his firm didn't have any findings in the financial or compliance audit. He stated that they had some internal control findings due to the change in the treasurer position.
