usage show an average of 93,000 gallons, with the average overnight usage being 32,600 gallons, and the average home use has been 157.9 gallons daily. From these figures you would subtract approximately 4,000 gallons where they had a pool overflow, plus the water that goes to the wastewater system, and also to the three units of clubhouses, pools, etc. Mr. Gerhold, therefore, felt the average home use based on a 25% absentee rate for this time of year, is well under the standard average use estimated by the county at 200 gpd. Mr. Gerhold then spoke of the problems with this system dating back over the years, reportedly resulting from lack of proper maintenance, which caused the DER and HRS to be brought in the picture and mandate that the plant be fixed up. It appears considerable monies were spent in 1984 and 1985 trying to bring the plant back to operation, but in May of 1987, Vaughn Service Corporation canceled its contract for servicing the wastewater treatment plant effective April 1, 1987, stating that they would continue to service the water plant providing all amounts due for previous labor, materials and services for both the water and wastewater plants were paid in full. Shortly after that Mr. Vaughn was dismissed and the plant deteriorated from that time on. Mr. Gerhold shuddered to think that Wilder Corp. might have another chance to run a utility franchise, and if this should occur, he believed we must make very sure every loophole is closed in regard to maintenance and operation of the facilities. It was determined that no one further wished to be heard, and the Chairman declared the public hearing closed. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION on the Motion to issue an administrative order and postpone action on revocation of the franchise until Oct. 4th. IT WAS VOTED ON and carried unanimously (4-0) Commissioner Bowman being absent. 9001( 7� P' sE 457
