Uînder the pre sent regulaUis properties .erved by O-rono Wnter in the Townshiip aie to be charged $5600 istead of '428.00 as in the VUlhge. The doable rate was set as certain proper- tics solth of Orono in the Town- ship could tnt be cb'irged a frontage or connection cliaige ev- en though a watermailn did pass thieir property. The double rate coxoers. consumption and frontage charges. Mr,. Pearce, hydro and water manager, asked for clarification as to the chargeto the users in the sub-division. Mr. Pearce in presentiug a sumimary of charges to offset the cost of the, second well, when completed, sugested a- yearly consumption charge c f, $36.00 or $39.00 for, ail users in the Oronio system. This compares with the present. $28 00 charges. ' Mr. Partner moved a motion that users in the sub-division ýbe charged 'a consumption rate of $39.00 a year. He stated that the Trustees did flot know wvhat they were faced with in operation costs for the area and the pressure pumip would cost an addiUtional $300.00 for hydro. "My interest is the Village itself," hie said. He also. said the second Weil would not have been needed if water use had been metered ini Orono. '-!e luse more water thail New- castle,' he said, Mr. Partner did not receive a seconde r for bis mrotion. Mr. Forrester stated that lie feit thýt Phe consumplon rate should be the saine over the vnhole system. H1e noted it was at the south of Orono and, asked vihy, it should change, for the si b- d iv i. lie al ,ýo caid the final costs of the second well were not known at this lime and ihus it v as impossible to make àany adl- justnments in rotes. Li the mnatter of water meters he said the~ in- itial cost would be consîderable ai1ong with the fact that . op-'ar- ation costs would certainly in- crease due to readiing meters and additional separàte billings. H1e moved that sub-division rates be the saine as in Orono at $2800 poiniîg out that already the sub- division had paid the Oreo sYs- hem $14,500.00. The motion was no econded. ~1.Simpson said the water 1 i houid lie an overali sys- ter, e îth a uniform charge.
