r o � <br />he is getting good water. He is happy with that, but felt <br />for only two people $40.00 is a lot. <br />In discussion, it was confirmed that for 6,000 gallons <br />water and sewer charges would amount to about $36.00. <br />Director Pinto believed the important thing is that he <br />is getting good water and felt a point that hasn't been <br />brought out is that the rate Mr. Tanen was requesting to get <br />his system back to what it should have been was higher than <br />the present rate, and even if that rate had been granted, <br />the people wouldn't have the quality water they have today. <br />He further noted that by not using the water softener, Mr. <br />Krieger's water consumption should drop some. <br />Mr. Imperato brought up the charge of $12.00 to reread <br />a meter, and wished to know what happens if they have a <br />meter read and the County reads it incorrectly. <br />Chairman Scurlock assured him that if it is our fault, <br />the customers won't be charged for it. <br />Albert Cozzolino of 2523 2nd P1. S.W., asked if the <br />meters have ever been checked. They have been there 22 <br />years or more. <br />Administrator Wright informed him that it is to the <br />customer's benefit to have an old meter because the older a <br />meter gets, it either goes slower or stops; it doesn't go <br />faster. Mr. Pinto confirmed that was correct. <br />Mr. Cozzolino wished to know why water is cheaper in <br />inland areas such as Lakeland. <br />Administrator Wright explained that the cost of water <br />production is cheaper because the quality of the water <br />inland is much better than the quality of the water on the <br />coast. Tallahassee, for instance, doesn't even own a water <br />plant. Director Pinto confirmed that in Ocala all they had <br />to do was pump the water out of the ground, chlorinate it, <br />and deliver it. <br />19 <br />APR 4 1984 <br />Boa 56 P'A'LE 6:34 <br />
