Benson: <br /> � <br /> �•7e have two concerns as we continue to review t�e water and sewer <br /> � sit.uation. <br /> � First, Long Lake records show the following water volume charges to <br /> � Orono during the past year: <br /> � r'arch 31 , 1977 1, 864 , 900 <br /> � June 30 , 1976 2 , 635 , 800 <br /> Sept. 30, 1976 3, 747, 800 <br /> � Dec. 31, 1976 2 , 086 , 200 <br /> i Total gallons 10 , 334 , 700 <br /> � At 27�, this produced approximately $2800 in annual revenue to Orono <br /> or over five times your out-of-pocket costs ($500-$600) as reported at the <br /> � meeting on May 23. We feel a flat rate to the school ($100-$150 per quarter <br /> • would be very helpful to us and would not escalate as our water consumption <br /> increases . At the present 27� rate , those of us on the Long Lake wa�er <br /> � system appear �o be subsidizing Orono' s water service operation_ <br /> � Our second concern is that we see the potential savings of 45G on <br /> Long Lake water charges practically wiped out by a planned increase of 33C <br /> � in Orono sewer charges. Those of us along Highway �12 who are served by <br /> , the Long Lake sewer system and who have paid the excess rate for many years <br /> deserve a rate comparable to Long Lake ' s normal ch arges , plus maintenance <br /> � of the lines. To be fair, we do not feel your overall sewer operation ccsts <br /> for the new plant should determine our rates when we are not served directly <br /> � by these new faci�ities in Orono. <br /> � The ?✓etropolitan Waste Control Com�-nission has sugoested to us the <br /> • possibili�y of a joint powers aaree;n-nt for those of us served by Long Lake , <br /> � <br /> DR.
