Water Company Forecasts 10 Million Expansion Plan
Indianapolis Water Company presented a twelve year development program to justify a roughly 20 percent rate increase. Consultant Leonard Metcalf estimated a $10,203,000 outlay on a flat rate basis or $5,900,000 for metered use, with about 48,000 connections to be metered and pre-1930 expansions planned. He projected a rising rate base to $21,006,000 and a cumulative revenue deficiency of $9,172,000 through 1937, arguing the plan sustains fire protection and service quality. Opponents charged depreciation calculations and tax estimates were inflated and based on reproduction costs rather than actual cost.
