Water plant cuts rates by municipal ownership benefits
Auditor John Lamb argues publicly owned Seattle water system yields lower rates by avoiding private dividend profits. He cites 1913 revenue of 872 427.83 against construction costs 11.7 million, bond interest and debt payments, and real estate value. The city’s equity funds cover operations while past profits would have gone to stockholders, keeping rates lower.
