PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> <br />Item 7a. <br />Review of water charges including elevation chanzes. the senior discount. and irrigation <br />rates. (SR 94:283) <br /> <br /> Randall Lum presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver declared the public hearing open. <br /> <br /> Frank C. Brandes, Jr., 6885 Corte Sonada, urged Council to restore the 20% discount <br />on water rates for senior citizens. <br /> <br /> George Gunter, 1805 Greenwood Road, also spoke in favor of the senior discount. He <br />questioned why the residential water rate per unit is higher than the commercial rate. He further <br />stated that the old water rate was very simple and urged Council to return to a simple rate <br />structure rather than the complicated formula now in use. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum explained that the residential rate is higher because there is a greater demand <br />on the water system from residential users. Commercial uses are more uniform and residential <br />uses have more peak.~. Mr. Lum referred to a chart showing water usage in different classes <br />to explain how the charges (which included the cost of water and cost of delivery) were <br />computed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis clarified that rates are different to assure that one class does not subsidize <br />another. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes asked how the change to the rate structure originated. <br /> <br />08/16/94 <br /> -4- <br /> <br /> <br />
