<br /> 1996 123.000 aa?. 209.10 434.73 3,000 aal.
<br /> TOTALS 1,339,000 gal. $2,743.04 $3,451.89 552,000 gal.
<br /> Hence, 552,000 gallons of water out of a total of 1,339,000 gallons that we paid for
<br /> between November 2, 1996 and January 8, 1998, was used exclusively for landscaping,
<br /> none of which ever entered the sewer's wastewater system but, cost us:
<br /> I andsca~a,
<br /> Water = 552.000 x Wastewater charge of
<br /> Total Water Used 1,339,000
<br /> $3,451.89 =sewer charge for NON-USE of sewer of $1,422.62.
<br /> We're in the process of installing a second water meter for landscaping use only. Will we
<br /> get a refund of $1,422.62 when this is completed?
<br /> As to the combined water/wastewater rates: Is this what the County Council thinks is fair?
<br /> Total Gott of Water 1995 $774.05 = $1.68/1000 gal.
<br /> Total Water Used 1995 460,000 gal.
<br /> Total GoM of Water + Wastewater 1997 = $5.715.23 = $4.70/1000 gallons
<br /> Total Water Used 1997 1,216,000 gal.
<br /> An increase in our water rate of $1.68/1000 gals. in 1995 to a waterlWastewater rate of
<br /> $4.70!1000 gallons in 1997. This is what the County Council thinks is a fair increase?
