Don C. Scurlock, Jr., - 3 - Chairman i September 29, 1982 land owners will benefit from the ability to receive water and sewer services; and should pay some proportional share of the expenses.- A special taxing district could balance the interests of the present users with those future users, who also have a substantial -benefit from the present system. Some members of our Association would like to explore the possibility of buying our system back from the County. Obviously, it is our opinion that we could operate the system more economically and efficiently then apparently the County is willing or able to do. It has been our experience that'we have had very few problems with water and sewer services in the years the system has been in place. It is impossible to outline all of the considerations that should be given to the residents of Vista Royale in this letter. As mentioned above, we have only recently learned of the County's proposal for massive increases; and we need additional time to explore alternatives to the proposed increases in rates. We would like an op- portunity to.obtain our own water -sewer rate specialist to work with the County in establishing a reasonable and fair_rate structure. We would also like to explore the possibility of buying,our system back from the County and the establishment of a taxing district to fairly spread the water -sewer costs. We respectfully request the County delay any rate.increases for a period of 30 to 60 days, so we can fully explore the alternatives. Information as to costs of the system has been availab�e to the County administration for a considerable period of time, and we believe some small delay -in forcing and proceeding with an unfair and dis- criminatory rate would be appropriate at this time. .1 SEP -29 1992 Sincerely, WilliamLehr, Jr., President Vista Royale Association, Inc. 13 ox 51 PA -E 70
