ORDINANCES
The Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority is regulated by ordinances. These ordinances are submitted by the Little Rock Water Reclamation Commission for approval by the City of Little Rock Board of Directors. Currently, LRWRA has three types of ordinances that pertain to public and private sewer services. Those ordinances are the rate, general, and pretreatment ordinances.
The rate ordinance establishes monthly sewer rates so that the rates are adequate to pay the principal and interest on sewer revenue bonds, to provide an adequate depreciation fund, and to provide coverage for the estimated cost of operating and maintaining the sewer system.

The Sewer Service Line Replacement Program (SSLRP) ordinance establishes an additional monthly charge of $1.00 which shall be used to fund and maintain the program. This program will reimburse eligible residential customers for the costs of total service line replacement up to a maximum of $2,500. To read the complete ordinance, CLICK HERE.
