Coleman Protests Water Rate Hike The high cost of supplying water -/caused a special meeting Monday night between Cobalt town council and Coleman township's council. The township's representatives '\were protesting a recent 20 per cent hike in Cobalt's charges for water. Cobalt recently increased water rates 20 per cent across the board to all consumers. The town also sells water to the township, where some 53 homes are supplied. The township council protested that the increase in rates is to cover the increased cost of main- taining the lines, but that Coleman water users are. already paying an extra one dollar' a month service charge for maintenance, and that this may have to be increased as some lines need replacing. Reeve W. Martin suggested .that the township should pay five per cent of the increase. Finance chairman Fern Desjar- dins of Cobalt pointed out that Co- balt has a $3,800 deficit on its water works, which has to be covered from general funds, so that in effect the Cobalt taxpayers are paying a service charge as well as the water rates. He added that the extra cost to Coleman is only about $230 a year, or little more than $4 a user. After several hours of discussion, Cobalt offered to give the town- ship an extra five per cent dis- count, as the township collects all the bills in Coleman. The township already gets the 10 per cent dis- count offered all users for prompt payment. See 3 bee ak -ce see i RS SEL MESES ES CRS Ee
