To honor the comments the MPCA received from stakeholders reflecting many perspectives, and to learn more from those potentially affected by a revised rule, the MPCA formed the Water Fee Advisory Committee to provide input to the Commissioner on this important topic. The group met six times in early 2018.
The committee which included a broad range of stakeholders, was charged with providing perspective, input, and advice to the commissioner. This input and advice will inform MPCA decisions on the approach and next steps to address the needs associated with the MPCA's water fee structure.
