METER PLEA Up
To Commission
Small Gains Are Followed by
Drops to Materially
Lower Levels.

Whether South Bend will discon-
tinue the use of fiat rates in pay
ment for water service and hereafter
require all water to be metered now
rests with the Indiana public service
commission.
City Atty. Eli Seebirt filed the city's
petition with the commission on
Sept. 4. asking that the action OF the
board of public works ordering the
discontinuance Of fiat rates be up
held. The commission will set a
date later when the petition viii be
heard and decision rendered.
South Bends board of public
works on Aug % adopted rules per-
tanning to the water service which
if allowed by the public service
commission would meter all water
used in the city. Three districts
were named i'm which meter rates
would become effective as follows.
District No. /. July I. 1918; dis
trict No. 2. Jan I. 1913. district 40.
3, July 1. 1919. In general the first
district comprises the western and
northern parts OF the city; the sec
ond district comprises the eastern
and southern parts of the city. and
the third district takes in an out
lying communities
The petition to the public service
commission sets ont, in part That
permitting some customers 10 be on
a metered basis and others 10 be
on fiat rate basis is permitting an
unlawful discrimination as TO rates.
Calls System WastefUI.
THAT the nOn-metered use Of
water is exceedingly wasteful caus-
ing a much higher cost Of opera
tions than would be If all services
were metered; and that said higher
cost Of operation is in part unjustly
born by the metered services which
do not in any way contribute 20 this
wasteful condition.
That the continued service OF
the large number Of non-metered
services will in the immediate fu-
ture demand a large extension Of the
water system and plant of the city
and viii require a large additional
investment Of money. which on
metered basis would be entirely un-
necessary. That the city OF South
Bend is rapidly Increasing IL pop
ulation and in the number OF water
users and that the consumption OF
water is now rapidly reaching the
maximum capacity Of the plant and
that the peak load has been reached
On several occasions recently. But
that the capacity Of said plant would
be- sufficient for several years 20
come II waste were eliminated
Wherefore this petitioner asks
that the rules heretofore adopted
by the board Of public works OF said
CITY and herein set out be auslOr-
lied and approved by his commis-
sion and ordered published as part
OF the schedule 81 rates and services
OF said municipal water utility
II is necessary under the law 20
gain the approval of the public ser
vice commission before the action
OF the board of public works be-
comes legally binding
