$50 and S14O Rates
Adopted 10 Connect
Water Sewer Lines

The Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission will resume max
ing all water and sewer connections
lin Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties under a new policy an
nounced yesterday.
Previously the commission an
|nounced plans to handle all connec-
tions on paved streets at cost of
$225 for a water connection and $3.50
for a sewer connection. Plumbers
handled the connections on unim-
proved street,.
Under the new plan, the commits
sion will charge $50 for water con-
nections and $40 for sever connec-
tions. This was one of two sugges-
tions outlined by Commission Chair
man Dwight B. Calf last week when
the former rules of $225 for water
connection and $3.50 for a sewer
hookup were protested by plumbers
and builders.
The new rate plan still repre-
sents q stable increase over 1947
rates of $42.50 for each type Of con-
nection. BY taking back less ex-
pensive work 1t had turned over to
plumbers in unimproved sections to
the county, the commission said, 1t
would be able to Offset the high cost
of work done in improved sections
where paved streets had to be torn
up and then repaired.
The commission said the proposed
area wide rates will be retroactive
to December 80, when the high rates
for paved streets were announced,
and persons who paid the higher
rates will be entitled to refunds.
The commission said master
plumbers would be contracted "as
far as possible so that the work of
making the connections may be
speeded uu."
