One of the concerns was the Proposed 18 Acre Park on Jupiter Village Council Meeting September 11, 1984 Page 3 - ----------------------------- Island in an area that the Village had includai a large number of hook-up to be added to the system to help defray the cost of the line over to Jupiter Island. If a park is built and no large amount of new hook-up will be added, the Village could be out that much money, and this would not be a good time to lower the rates until it is studied more.
