The changes are part of a wa ter department modernization program to improve administra tive efficiency and lower oper ating costs in the department, Lee said. Eventually lower de partment expenses will be re flected in customer's bills, he said. With cycle billing, the custom er's bill is mailed as soon as pos sible after the meter is read, Lee explained. Previously, he said, bills were held and mailed on the last day of the month re gardless of what day of the month the meter was read. Advantages Advantages of the new system will be for both the water de partment and customer, Lee said. The water superintendent noted that the department's workload will be distributed evenly over the month instead of having it all at one time, and any unusual water consumption by a custom er can be immediately detected. About 3,700 water customers will be affected by the change. They include all commercial ser vices, water districts, newer res idences in Medford and a few customers outside the city lim its, Lee said. , Because meter routes have been revised, he pointed out, some customers will receive bills this month within 10 days of last month's bill. Both will be for full-month periods, he said. Partial Bills Customers using the Big Butte Springs pipeline will receive par tial bills this month because me ter reading time in that area has been re-scheduled. Lee said. Cus tomers in the Midway, Elk and Charlotte Ann water districts will receive their next bill for a 1 13-month period for the same reason, he added. Lee said only meter customers will receive post card form bills this June. Customers billed on a flat rate basis will not receive post card form bills until next fall, Lee said, because new ad dressing equipment for the bills cannot be purchased until that time. Post card form bills will low er operating costs since they save one cent postage per bill, eliminate cost of envelopes and the cost of inserting them in en velopes which consumes 15-man hours a month, Lee said. A new $7,500 billing machine recently has been purchased by the department and will be used starting this June for meter cus tomer bills, according to Lee. As a result of the improve ments, Lee noted the city's water operation has been department alized. Department personnel now specialize at certain duties economizing on lime and increas ing efficiency, he said. Obituaries MRS. CLARA O. YATES Mrs. Clara O.
