WATER Meters MUST
Be IN BY NOV. 80
Flat Schedule Water Rates
to be Charged Those
Who Fail to Comply
DEPARTMENT
ADOPTS NEW RULE

Adoption of resolution declaring
that water meter rates will not be ef-
fective next year in properties now on
Hat schedule where meters have been
installed mless application to be placed
on a meter rate is made by November
30 was the most important business
transacted by the Board of Water Com
missioners at their meeting this morn
ing.
The resolution which is Of interest to
more than 5000 families in Wilmington,
follows:
Whereas. The installstio OF meters
is proceeding very satisfactorily, over
BOO having been installed, or one-half
of the total number necessary to COM
pletely meter the city, but in many
cases the number OF readings has not
been sufficient TO afford accurate meas
urement of water uses, and
Whereas. This Board on May 4, 1914,
passed the following resolution;
Whereas, 1t is the intention of this
Department to install meters TO all
properties that are now, or may here
after be supplied by Bnndywine water,
as quickly as the work can be done,
therefore be it
Resolved. That commencing Janu-
airy /, 1915, and continuing yearly
thereafter, water will be furnished
to consumers to whose service meters
have been applied, by meter measure
ments only, and that no new SER
vice will be installed except upon
meter basis.
And Whereas. The Board finds a
possibility of confusion and liability
10 unfair treatment of some water
users If all properties recently meter
ed are forced on meter basis before
the entire system has been installed
and a new schedule Of water rates
adopted TO fit the changed condi-
tions.
Now. Therefore, Be II Resolved,
That the above recited resolution of
this Board be and is hereby rescinded
and further
Resolved That the contracts now
in force for Brandywine water be
continued on either schedule or meter
basis as heretofore except in those
cases where meters have been applied
for by the owners of properties-in
which latter cases bills VIII be rem
dcred on a meter basis only. II is
therefore necessary for those hereto
fore charged by schedule who wish to
be charged by meter rates for the
year 1915. to make applications cover
ing this change on or before Noyem-
Der 80, 1914.
