Section 651.57 - Granting of state aid

State aid will be paid on eligible direct operation and maintenance costs. Where State aid, applied for by one municipality, is not reimbursed on an equitable basis to those entities outside its geographical boundaries which contribute flow to its sewage treatment plant (contracting municipalities, individual residents, school districts, Federal and State facilities, and private, commercial, institutional and industrial enterprises, etc.), all such revenues will be deducted from the total direct operation and maintenance costs before State aid is computed. Examples of eligible items for State aid reimbursement are:

(a) salaries paid for labor and direct supervision of personnel necessary to operate and maintain the sewage treatment works;

(b) the municipality's share of retirement, social security, workers' compensation and insurance costs for the above personnel;

(c) costs of materials and supplies, including fuel, chemicals, lubricants, power and similar expenditures;

(d) costs of insurance premiums on sewage treatment plant structures and equipment;

(e) prorated insurance costs of self-insured municipalities if the self-insurance plan is submitted to and approved by the commissioner;

(f) costs of operating and maintaining vehicles, vessels and other equipment, and for the replacement of vehicles, vessels and other equipment that are used exclusively or are an integral part of the treatment and/or disposal process;

(g) real property taxes assessed by a municipal corporation on eligible sewage treatment works located outside of the corporate limits of the applicant municipality; and

(h) such other costs as in the judgment of the commissioner are necessary for effective operation.
