CHAIRMAN WODTKE INQUIRED IF IN THE OPERATING EXPENSES SHOWN ON PAGES 42 AND 43, THAT IS THE PERSONNEL ASSIGNED TO THE SYSTEM WHO GO OUT AND REPAIR A METER, DO THE MAINTENANCE,AND CUT IN NEW CUSTOMERS. MR. VAUGHN ANSWERED THAT PART OF THEIR DISTRIBUTION CREW OUT OF PORT ST. LUCIE DOES THAT WORK, AND WHEN THEY DO A MAJOR RE— PAIR WHICH THE PEOPLE HERE CANNOT HANDLE, THAT IS CAPITALIZED. MR. MOSIAN EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAVE A CHART OF ACCOUNTS.- AND CCOUNTS, AND ALL THESE FUNCTIONS HAVE AN ACCOUNT NUMBER. THE DAILY TIME SHEETS ARE TRANSFERRED TO TIME CARDS, AND THEY ARE KEY PUNCHED AND CODED, THIS ALSO PERTAINS TO ANYTHING THAT IS CAPITALIZED. ATTORNEY COLLINS COMMENTED THAT THE PEOPLE IN VERO SHORES DISPUTE THE 5,000 GALLONS PER MONTH AVERAGE USAGE. MR. MOSIAN STATED THAT IS THE AVERAGE. HE EXPLAINED THAT THEIR RATE PROJECTIONS ARE BASED ON THE ACTUAL USAGE— NOT AN AVERAGE, AND THEY TABULATED EVERY SINGLE BILL AND ADDED THEM ALL UP. HE AGREED THAT THE PEOPLE IN VERO SHORES DO HAVE LARGER METERS AND USE MORE WATER, CHAIRMAN WODTKE COMMENTED THAT THEY HAVE 3,460 WATER BILLS LISTED ON PAGE 50. HE ASKED IF THAT IS FOR THE YEAR, AND MR. MOSIAN STATED THAT IT WAS. THE CHAIRMAN POINTED OUT THAT IF YOU TAKE 3,460 AND DIVIDE BY 12, YOU COME UP WITH 288 CUSTOMERS, AND MR. MOSIAN NOTED THAT THESE BILLS ARE ONLY FOR THE 5/8" METERS. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED HOW MANY GALLONS A MONTH PER CUSTOMER THE ACTUAL USAGE WAS PROJECTED TO BE, AND MR. MOSIAN STATED THAT THEY TAKE THE AVERAGE OF WHAT EVERYONE USED. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT A FIGURE OF 350 GPD WAS MEN— TIONED, AND MR. MOSIAN STATED THAT WAS DESIGN CRITERIA. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED IF THE AVERAGE IS 5,000 GALLONS PER MONTH PER CUSTOMER, AND MR. MOSIAN STATED THAT IT WAS FOR PEOPLE WITH 3/4" METERS: FOR 1", IT IS ABOUT 14,000, ATTORNEY COLLINS QUESTIONED WHETHER THEIR REPRESENTATION OF 5,000 GALLONS PER HOUSEHOLD PER MONTH IS REALISTIC SINCE THEY DESIGNED THE PLANT FOR TWICE THE AVERAGE.
