The
Use of meters to cut Winchester water tax
At a joint meeting of the water and sewer committees in the City Manager's office a house to house canvass of water consumers was authorized to count fixtures and assess equitable rates. The city plans to meter usage, noting other cities with meters reduced consumption and bills for only what is needed. The average current daily intake exceeds four barrels per person, though officials believe this is too high. Implementing meters is seen as essential to permanently lowering costs for those on flat rates who limit domestic use.
