NOV 9 1983 Mr. Morris reported that in 1978 the water treatment facility underwent renovation to replace the existing softening units as well as addition of ground storage tank and some replacement of pumps and control equipment. In 1978 the sewage treatment facility consisted of an Imhoff plant and in 1978 they went in and built the plant which is in service today. Mr. Morris believed the 1978 plant did comply with the requirements of the regulatory agencies at that time, and the facilities today do certainly comply. Mr. Morris then discussed the increase in customer load from 1978 to 1982, noting that in 1978 there were approxi- mately 300 water customers and today there are approximately 955 or 960; in 1978 there were 225 on sewer and 893 today. Commissioner Wodtke inquired about the number of additional customers on the system since the 1982 base year. Mr. Morris believed that in 1982 there were approxi- mately 500 additional customers on the sewer system and approximately 600 additional on the water system, and stated that since 1982, there are approximately 5 to 10 additional . customers on the water system. In 1982 they had 950 customers, and he believed that total now is somewhere around 955 or 960. (The audience evidenced much disbelief in this statement.) Mr. Morris concluded that he did believe the system is being run efficiently and economically. Commissioner Scurlock asked about meeting environmental standards in 1978 and 1980 and asked if the system was under citation at any time. Mr. Morris believed in 1978 they were meeting standards and were not under citation and knew that today and in 1982, the plants do meet standards. Chairman Bird commented that there seemed to be some disbelief about the growth of the system since 1982 and it does seem Mr. Morris quoted a rather small increase. He assumed that the area has grown more than that. m
