S. W, VERO BEACH, FLORIDA. 32960. April 2I,1976 Dear Commiesioneres The evening of April 20,1976 at the public hearing of the Treasure Coast Utilities request for rate and hook-up charges. No property owner put fourth any kind of a rate increase which would be fair to us property owners. I would like to offer a rate increase table that I feel would be fair to us, and to the new Company. Present 4000 Gallons (Minimum) should be kept at that rate. Proposed Rates and Hook-up Chargess Monthly Water Quantity Ratess First 4000 Gallons(Minimum) ............... $4.50 Each Additional I,000 ..................... I.00 Water Hook-up and Connection Charge .......350.00 (New homes only). Monthly Sewer Service Ratess Flat rate basis of $4.50 to $5.00 The sewer rate should not be put on a per gallon basis, 30% or more of the water used is used on lawns, and since the sewers have no meters they should be basised on a flat rate. Also a great many of the figures that where given by both Southern Gulf and Treasure Coast Utilties where wrong. Treasure Coast was wrong for using Southern Gulf figures. Also the statement was made by the man named Steve, that Treasure Coast Utilities was commited to buy the Franchise if they received the increase or not. Mr. Lohman, when asked if he would buy the Franchise if no rate increase was granted, answered he would not. Which of these two men stated the truth? Sincerely yours, 19 Matthew A. Good, Sr. a 5 1976 �"
