Chairman O'Bryan did not feel reuse water was a full commodity yet, but a waste <br />product that the County needs to find a use for. He felt the rate should be set at a level to <br />encourage people to sign up for the system, create competition for that water, then when it <br />becomes a commodity where supply and demand takes over, the rates can be adjusted based on <br />proven demand. He wanted to see the rate at 61 cents, a 10% R & R rate, and a five year break <br />even period. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a vote <br />of 3-2 (Commissioners O'Bryan and Flescher opposed) <br />the Motion carried. The Board approved the reuse rate at <br />60 cents per 1,000 gallons, increasing the rate annually by <br />7 cents per year until it caps out at 88 cents per 1,000 <br />gallons, and at that time reevaluate the rates. <br />13.
