The Summit County Department of Environmental Services (DOES) operates and maintains wastewater collection, transportation and treatment systems in the unincorporated areas of the County and in certain incorporated areas. Those areas comprise a district known as the Summit County Metropolitan Sewer District. DOES consists of a Sewer Division. Each division has its own distinct function, employs its own work force, and operates with its own County Council-approved budget. DOES prepares the sewer bills and collects the user fees and charges for deposit into the County treasury. The funds managed by DOES are enterprise funds and are not dependent upon the County's general operating funds. The County Council has the authority and the duty to establish the rates and charges imposed on users of the sanitary sewer system. The County administration, under the County Executive, typically makes recommendations to the Council concerning those rates and charges based on independent consultants' studies and its policy that such systems be "self-supporting." |
