Members of the city council spent
Tuesdsy night discussing and pan
ning a new rate schedule for the
city water tystem, They practic
ally decided to put all the water
users of the city except the Normal,
the creamery and farmers along the
line, on a flat rate basis which,
while making water cheaper to the
smsll users, will require them to
pay an Increase-! minimum yielding
an all around raise In the revenues
of the water department of fifty
per cent.
Since It is necessary to Increase
the water income from $4,000 to
$6,000 annually, the problem was
to make the Increase fair to all and
yet to encourage the use of water.
Following it the suggestive basis
which will probably be adopted at
the council meeting next Tuesday
night. Increase the minimum meter
rate from 20 cents to 30 cents a
thousand gallons and make it the
one rate at which water is sold.
A fifty per cent increase on busi
ness establishments. For residen
ces a minimum of $1.25 for sink or
sink and bath, and for sink, bath
and toilet, $1.50, for an out door
tap which includes sprinkling priv
ilege and which must be taken by
tie year, 25 cents per month ad
ditional; for lodgers, 30 cents per
month each additional, for cow or
horse, 25 cents per month each ad
ditional. 1
