Water Ordinance Passes To Boost Pocatello Water Revenue
The Pocatello city council approved a 20 page water ordinance to raise revenue in certain categories while not altering metered rates. Water superintendent W. J. Speir said the plan aims for uniformity, funds a five year program from annual water revenue, and includes replacing leaks, repairing springs, building wells, a million gallon reservoir, and upgrading distribution mains. He warned bond issues could be needed if annual revenues do not cover the plan. The only contentious part concerns charges for service connections previously not billed.
