MAR 19 196 <br />BOOK 63 PA-- 965 <br />advertise that the bill is according to the amount of water going <br />through your meter. <br />Chairman Scurlock explained there is a 10,000 gallon cap on <br />sewer usage because they figure anything over that amount <br />probably would be for outside irrigation, etc. and not for <br />domestic use. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked if Mr. Visca uses much water on <br />his lawn. Mr. Visca stated that this month he used it twice, and <br />he could not understand why they say he will pay $1.88 per <br />thousand gallons when he is paying $3.30. <br />Assistant Director Barton believed that Mr. Visca is adding <br />the charges for his water and sewer together and offered to <br />explain this to him. <br />Attorney Shandloff advised that company representative, <br />Peter Welch, is present and will be glad to help anyone resolve <br />any questions about billing. <br />Richard Barton, Vero Shores, wished to know whether all this <br />business of the income requested based on costs, etc., is based <br />on the local utility here or on all of the GDU facilities. <br />Mr. Wheeling stated that it is based primarily on the test <br />year 1982 for the Vero Beach Highlands facility with some G&A <br />expenses included. <br />Chairman Scurlock explained that this is a separate rate <br />case which stands on its own merit. Some G&A costs were <br />allocated back to this utility, and he felt sure our staff has <br />analyzed any G&A charges to be sure they not out of line. <br />Director Pinto confirmed that when staff analyzed the G&A <br />charges, only costs related directly to Indian River County were <br />allowed to be included. Staff even went to the point where some <br />employees shared with the Port St. Lucie facility were propor- <br />tioned out to the exact amount of time they spent in Indian River <br />County. He asked if Mr. Barton had any complaint with the sewer <br />system, and Mr. Barton did not. <br />20 <br />L� <br />
