OCT 16 1979 <br />Mr. Jack Jennings <br />August 14, 1979 <br />Page -three- <br />Bou 41 �,,,E 727 <br />Ref. Item 6 - A front foot assessment program is expected to be very dif- <br />ficult to implement. The offset in monthly cost is illustrated as follows: <br />There are about 180,000 feet of pipelines in the project. Assessable front <br />footage is about 234,000 feet at 65% of total length, both sides. Therefore, <br />at a rate of $1/front foot, this would generate $234,000 to offset initial <br />capital cost or an average of $0.50 reduction per month for 2,500 connections. <br />The items providing the most significant impact on the water rates would be <br />Item 3 - reserve connection, and Item 5 - utility tax. The utility tax <br />could be eliminated in the future after sufficient number of new connections <br />are added to the water system to offset the revenue generated by the utility <br />tax (about 600 connections). <br />We are prepared to meet with you and the Commissioners to further discuss our <br />most recent findings and our meetings with FmHA o We are aware of the Com- <br />missioners tight schedule, therefore, we are available upon immediate request. <br />Sincerely, <br />�'r <br />Ralph'E.
