_ - <br /> KONA INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY „ , <br /> -r+~--~,--, . <br /> 76-6305 Kaheiau St. • Kona, Hawaii 96740 • (808) 326-9331 <br /> <br /> L~ <br /> February 6, 1998 <br /> TO: The Honorable Joe Reynolds <br /> County Councilman, South Kona <br /> INFO: All Members, County Council <br /> FROM: Walter C. Decker, Owner <br /> Kona Industrial Development Company <br /> RE: County Wastewater Charges <br /> In 1997, the Kona Hale Hana Centre, 74-5583 Luhia Street, Kona Business Park, <br /> Kailua-Kona, was charged $2,533.94 for 1,216,000 gallons of water and $3,181.29 for <br /> wastewater, or a ratio of over 1 to 1.25. However, as 513,000 gallons (please see be- <br /> low) was used for landscaping, we were actually charged for the non-landscaping water <br /> of 703,000 gallons: <br /> 703,E x $2,533.94 = $1,464.93 + the wastewater charge of $3,181.29 = $4,646.22 <br /> 1,216,000 <br /> for the 703,000 gallons of water that entered the sewer's wastewater system, or <br /> $6.61!1000 gal. versus $2.08/1000 gal. for the 513,000 gallons of water used for land- <br /> scaping. I would suggest that an increase from a rate of $2.08 to a rate of $6.61 is rather <br /> significant - as well as being unfair. <br /> As a back up to the above, let us look at what we used 1994 thru 1997. Our only use of <br /> water in 1994 and 1995 was for landscaping. In January 1996, Gold's Gym was <br /> opened, with a separate sub-meter. Hence, water used in 1996 and 1997 included <br /> landscaping and Gold's Gym usage. <br /> Total Used Total Used Balance <br /> Per Dept. of Gold's Gym Used for <br /> Water Su~ZpLy Per Sub-Meter Landscapi0g <br /> 1994 262,000 gal. -0- 262,000 gal. <br /> 1,00o gauaay 1,o~m~i~~y 65~ 0~_ <br /> rite Ma ycc SE W <br /> ttet. ~O1 ~ 1998 <br /> teef.
