Over the last 15 years, we have done our best to provide consistent and high-quality service with regard to the Service Agreement we signed with Clay County related to our Neutralizer° Systems. As you know,that Agreement has a clause regarding annual escalation—to allow us to increase our fee slightly so that we can cover our increasing costs. Attached is an updated copy of the August 2025 CPI that is used to compute the annual escalation under our service contract for the month of October 2025.The escalation calculations are applied based on Exhibit A attached. Under our Service Agreement, the base fee, which is calculated based on 1,000 gallons wasted, is to be adjusted by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The escalated fees will now be: Base Fee$102.85 per 1,000 gallons wasted; Labor Rates Per Hour,Technician or IT $84.09, Professional Engineer$161.71. Monthly billing will reflect these amounts beginning October 1, 2025. We continue to strive to provide the Clay County Utility Authority with the highest level of service.
