NOV 21993 <br />residents who are here only part time should help to pay <br />the cost of the utility whereas in the case of Reflections <br />on the River, which has more of a local ownership, they <br />didn't feel that the flat rate needed to take the majority <br />of the cost. <br />Commi8sioner Wodtke referred back to the rates, noting <br />that this is a new type of rate structure - there is a <br />$15.00 a unit charge whether the residents are there or -not <br />and whether they use any water or not, but then the usage <br />charge is based upon 800 of whatever the consumption is. <br />Therefore, if they were to use 3,000 gallons, apparently <br />they are going to pay on 2,400 for usage; Mr. Wohlfarth <br />confirmed that is correct. <br />Commissioner Scurlock discussed the necessity of having <br />to supplement the irrigation water with what basically would <br />be potable water or from a well source and asked if the <br />charge would be the same whether the irrigation water comes <br />from an effluent source or from a deep well. <br />Mr. Wohlfarth stated that it would and, in fact, the <br />primary reason they have the irrigation usage charge is <br />s_ <br />because initially there will not be enough effluent to <br />irrigate the total site. They must have make-up water from <br />some source, be it potable or shallow or deep well; so they <br />felt that the residents should be paying the utility for <br />supplying them with "bathtub" water. Obviously, if they <br />used a potable system, the cost for irrigating would be much <br />higher. <br />Commissioner Scurlock talked about the possibility of <br />the availability of raw water from the John's Island line as <br />an option in the future. <br />Attorney Brandenburg discussed changes that he and <br />Attorney Henderson have agreed need to be made in the <br />language of the franchise.
