The sanitary sewer fund would initially finance the lateral connection charges for sanitary sewer and will be reimbursed over a ten-year period with an interest of 4.5% per year and the first installments shall be payable with taxes paid in 2025. 

Shakopee Public Utilities Commission (SPUC) will reimburse the City the full amount of the watermain improvements completed with the Maras Street, 13th Avenue, and Hansen Avenue Utility Extension Project. At the time of adoption of this Special Assessment, the City will reimburse SPUC for the full amount of the assessed watermain costs on the Property. The City will then be reimbursed for the lateral connection charge for water over a ten-year period with an interest of 4.5% per year and the first installments shall be payable with taxes paid in 2025.
