Dear Tom:
Please find enclosed an amended ordinance relating to the
change in water rates. You will note that I have included the
words "monthly" in Section I so as to make it clear that this
is a monthly charge. Additionally, I have included language which
attempts to address the problem of prorating units which are included
on a master meter. I hope that language accomplishes .its intended
purpose. Perhaps Tom Hall will have a suggestion in regard to
this language. I am copying him with this ordinance in the event
he has any suggestions.
Very truly,,,,urs,
