This increase is necessary because there is not enough revenue coming in to cover current expenses to manage the system A 40% increase would allow for a slight cushion for emergencies and increases of expenses. Luann Hook pointed out that the last rate increase took place in 2012 and if you average out the proposed 40% increase, it would be about 3% a year.

Everything is on track sample wise. The PH has kind of gone up because of the winter use. So the plant is using more chemical to balance. Simpson asked about the possibility of 'recasing' the Bar Well. Powell explained that if we recased the well, the casing diameter would be too small to run a 5 hp pump into the well. A smaller pump wouldn't produced enough pressure to get the water into the water lines.
