Operation and Maintenance <br />The County presently owns no water or sewerage utilities and has <br />no staff or equipment to operate or maintain such facilities. Con- <br />sequently, during the initial years, it appears advisable for the <br />County to employ a contract operator to run both water and sewer <br />systems. The contractor should provide full-time personnel, trans- <br />portation, tools, and equipment to furnish all routine daily system <br />operations, including meter reading, cut -ons, cut-offs, set new meters, <br />order supplies, keep records, and prepare rdports for regulatory <br />agencies. The operator may also conduct billing and collecting pro- <br />cedures if the County does not elect to do so. <br />In addition to the contract operator's cost, the annual budget <br />must provide for insurance, professional fees, utilities, system <br />repairs, and purchase of water and sewage treatment service from <br />the City. At present the cost of water purchase from the City is <br />61 cents per 1,000 gallons. The wholesale cost for sewage treatment <br />has not been established, but for purposes of preparing operating <br />cost estimates, we have assumed a. rate of 75 cents per 1,000 gallons. <br />15 <br />Is <br />80% 31 PA-UF,388 <br />
