Water Revenue Rise Guided by Meters and Waste Tools
Superintendent McFarland reports the district water department collected 559,509 dollars in the last fiscal year, a record high, with growth from meters and conservation efforts. He forecasts a revenue dip next year due to moving from flat rates to metered bills, as 8,278 water meters are now in service across 41 miles of mains. The division’s Colphormeter program reduced leakage by about one fifth, and 140 percent of premises audited showed leaks, prompting 1 126 delinquent notices and 1887 main tax notices delivered.
