New Service Charge
Asked for Arlington
Wafer and Sewers

A new water and sewer service
charge for Arlington residents has
been proposed by County Manager
A. T. Lundberg in an effort to
eliminate inequities and help put
water and sewer operations on a
self-sustaining basis.
In his proposal, forwarded to
the County Board, Mr.. Lundberg
recommended the present mini
mum charge of $3.50 for the use
of at least $4,000 gallons of water
every three months by domestic
consumers be reduced to $1.50 a
quarter for each dwelling unit.
This would include single
family homes as well as apartment
units. In. addition, apartments
would be removed from the COM
mercial classification. -a,s -..f.s,
Apartment Rate Lower.
Mr.. Lundberg explained that
under the present system apart
ment owners pay at a lower rate
than do home owners.
The combined water and sewer
charge for all users. whether do
mestic or commercial, would be
26 cents per 1000 gallons. Under
this plan. Mr.. Lundberg said, con-
sumers who use less than the
amount Of water covered by the
present minimum charge would
no longer pay for water they do
not use The present rate is
27 cents per 1000 gallons over the
10000 minimum.
No change would be made in
the service charge for commercial
use, which ranges from $3.50 to
SIS depending on the size of the
meter.
Average Water Bill.
Mr.. Lundberg said the average
water bill for a home owner last
year was $5.31, including the
minimum $3.50 charge. This aver
age was for consumption of $4,000
gallons Of water. ,s,a ., -
Under his proposal. $4,000 gal
Ions would cost the domestic use,
$40, including the $3.50 quar-
terly service charge.
