Project Overview
In July 2005 the City of Marathon entered into an agreement with Weiler Engineering for design of the City’s wastewater treatment system. The proposed project provides an affordable long term solution to meeting the City’s 2010 wastewater treatment goals. Weiler examined various technologies and service areas within the City of Marathon and determined that no single type of system was best for the entire City; instead, Weiler recommended the most practical and cost effective system for each of the various neighborhoods within the City. As a result, the project will be implemented in seven separate Service Areas.

How can I get more detailed information about the construction activities in my neighborhood?
Just prior to the start of construction in your Service Area, the City will hold a public meeting to provide you with more detailed information regarding construction plans for your neighborhood and to give you the opportunity to ask questions. These meetings will be advertised in the local newspapers.
For detailed information for Service Areas 4 and 6 (which are currently under construction), view Marathon Status Maps.
How much will it cost?
On June 24, 2008 the City adopted an Initial Assessment Resolution (Resolution 2008-96) which established the assessment methodology and amounts for System Development Charges. The Resolution includes a Wastewater Improvements Assessment Program Report which provides detailed information on the City’s assessment program.

When will I be required to pay my System Development Charge?
Residential and commercial customers located in Service Areas 4 and 6 will be assessed for System Development Charges beginning in the fall of 2008. All other Service Areas are scheduled to be assessed in the fall of 2009. All customers will be given the option to either prepay the assessment amount in full, or pay it over 20 years (with finance and administrative costs included) as a non-ad valorem assessment on the annual property tax bill.
