Plans for furnishing lake water explained
Charles S. Thrasher, president of the Greater Chicago Lake Water Co, outlined plans to supply suburban municipalities with wholesale Lake Michigan water. He said rate schedules automatically lower as consumption grows, ensuring cheaper per thousand gallons over time while denying any incentive to seek higher basic rates. He argued increased suburban use would not raise operating costs proportionally and that commissions would not approve higher rates if a reasonable return is shown.
