1 <br />OCT 5 1983 <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock explained that GDU does have a <br />request in for a rate increase. If nothing is done and the <br />County refuses to sell water to General Development, they <br />can go back and develop or expand their own system and come <br />back before us for a rate increase hearing. Then customers <br />will be faced with a higher rate than if General Development <br />had bought water from the County. <br />Administrator Wright suggested that everyone in Vero <br />Shores and Vero Highlands attend the rate hearing when it is <br />scheduled and be prepared to spend some time. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock explained the charges under the <br />proposed rates on Page 89 of the backup material: <br />Meter Size <br />Present Rates 5/8 x 3/4" 1" <br />Water: Minimum (3,000 gallons) $ 5.00 $ 5.00 <br />Usage (2,000 gallons) 2.00 2.00 <br />Total (5,000 gallons) $ 7.00 $ 7.00 <br />Sewer: Flat Rate 6.00 6.00 <br />Present total combined water & sewer bill: $13.00 $13.00 <br />Proposed Rates <br />Water: Base Facility Charge <br />$ 7.86 <br />$14.92 <br />Usage (5,000 gallons) <br />9.50 <br />9.50 <br />Total <br />$17.36 <br />$24.42, <br />Sewer: Base Facility Charge <br />$ 8.46 <br />$ 8.46 <br />Usage (5,000 gallons) <br />9.40 <br />9.40' <br />Total <br />$17.86 <br />$17.86 <br />Proposed total combined water & sewer bill <br />$35.22 <br />$42.28 <br />Dr. George Herrold came forward again to suggest that <br />Vero Shores be allowed to continue being served from the <br />existing plant under the old rate structure as the <br />development only consists of 125-150 units. <br />Mr. Otto Pisani, Vero Highlands, explained that most of <br />the people in Vero Highlands did not know of the meeting <br />being held today and the telephones were really buzzing last <br />night to urge people to attend the meeting today. As a <br />result, many people are here today. <br />
