Mond ay , Sept . 12. Final vot e on an ordinan ce requiring meter installation wheneve r a home changes ownership has been delayed until after the public hearing. Public Works Director Kells Waggoner has estimated the plan will save the city $3 .2 million in water treatment and storage facility improvements. The poli cy now in effect , which requires meters on new homes , has put 660 families on the metered system , with 8400 being charged a flat rate. City Manager Andy Mc- Co wn has estimated the new ordinance would put another 450 homes each year on meters. In 10-20 years, the entire city would be metered. Waggoner said metered customers Ufe less water than unmetered customers. A !~year Boulder study , he said, showed a 36 pct. drop in water use after meters were installed. City planners think F.nglewood will have a population of 49,500 by the year 2000. Needed storage and treatment facility Improve- ments to serve them would cost E~glewood more than $11 .7 mill ion if mos t of the city re- m ains on the flat rate, Waggoner said. If the propos ed meter ordinance is adopted , the city would have to pay $8 .5 million fo r the nec e ssa ry improvements. Ci tizens would have to approve a bond is- s ue before the improvements can be under- taken . Former Director of Utilities Charles B. Carroll Jr. has estimalal that the average metered family has a water bill of $137 nually : the average flat rate c ustimer, 106 . He said the average metered customer 1s presently paying 41 pct. more for the same amount of water than the average flat rate customer. If a uniform rate were applied to all -IL aJl,i. /o". ••• -' r meters cu stoq:ie rs , Carroll said , metered c ustomers would see their bill drop 28 pct. to $98 , whil e those on the flat rate sys tem would see their bill go up I pct., to $107 . Commercia l a nd in- dustrial customers , now on meters, would be charged 4 pct. more for th e ir water . Waggoner said the rate structure is und er review , but isn 't far enough along that he could verify Carroll 's figures . He confi r med that the city currently charges less per $1000 gallons to those who use more water. Many cities, he said , have gone to a "conservation rate ," wh ich encourages water savings by charging higher rates to those who use more water. Others have pointed out that such a chage would be dif· ficult for some F.nglewood industries which use a lot of water in their process ing . I •• , ,> ··-<" . . -......... ·~~, .. . -. . .. ... ' ..

Conell Ave . On Sept. 12 , the Englewood City Council IJ boldlng a public hearing in regard to the ordinance to require the in- stallation of water meters whenever a house is sold in Englewood . I suspect that few will attend , because the Council has cleverly worded the ordinance to deceive the citizens of Englewood into believing that It only affects "the other guy," and that homeowners who don 't Intend to move won't be affected , and won 't have to install a meter. Actually , this is the Council's first step toward meters for everyone. I am sure that everyone agrees that conserving our resources is not only a good idea , but is essential to our lives in the years ahead , and some members of the Council are convinced that water meters are the only way to save water. But I feel that a closer examination of the facts will show the costs to exceed the benefits. The biggest fallacy of water meters Is the misconception by consumers that they can reduce their water bill by reducing their usage : This is true for gas and electricity but the cost of a water system is NOT THE WATER , it is the equipment and manpower to process and deliver the water . These costs do not va ry much with volume , thus using less will RAISE the price per gallon , as demonstrated all a round the country this summer -Marin County. Calif ., being the best example ; with water usage off 40 pct., rates had to be continually increased to insure operating revenue . Of course, here in Englewood we have no forseeable water shortage . We do have an old treatment plant that must be replaced one of these days . But with more than e nough water for now and the future . why are we being asked to install water meters that will surely result in highe r rates . Let's look at so me more facts : 1 l Co unci lman Sovern was quoted in the Sentinel as say - ing meters would cost SSOO-S1000 per home . That's $4-8 mill ion total. 21 Meter re aders would have to be hired -at lea s t two mo re al a cost of 530 ,000 a year , paid for through higher rates 31 Fla t rate billing s are in advance , providing interest- fre e operat ing fund s in advance of use . Metered bilings are after th e fact . addmg Interest expen se to the cost, paid for th rough high er ra tes . 4) F lat rite billings a r e the same year round , while metered billi ng s would flu ctua te , high in ummer , low In winter . Hard fo r the homeo wner to budget 51 As wa te r usage declines , rates ,.,u nse Thi truth has bee n prove n by many citi es , parucularlv rh , ,ummer. At fi r st. yo u ma y be able to keep you, Dtlf down by reducing consumption , but what about the poor guy who is saving all he can? He will be living in a city with plenty of water watching his bill go up for no reason . 6) Englewood 's current rate schedule is arbitrary , unfair and encourages waste by giving lower prices to big water users. With these facts in mind, I feel that the pro-water meter Councilmen James Taylor, Doug Sovern , Vern Mann and Dave Williams should be asked these questions : 1) During 1977 , the Denver metro area achieved an im- pressive water conservation score. Without meters (or any urging from our concerned Council ), Englewood 's use was down 2S pct . Why then do we need to waste '4-8 million to buy meters to do what we can do for free, or at low cost through educating our citizens about water conservation? 2) Why hasn 't Council revised Englewood 's water rates to be fair , reasonable and encourage conservation? 3) The cost of a meter is four to eight times my annual water bill . How can Council consider a cost that is so far out of proportion to the benefit good for the citizens of Englewood • 4 ) How many of the pro-meter Councilmen have install'!d meters , or is this idea of conservation only good for ''somebody else.'' 5) How much will the rates increase to pay : a ) the meter readers b ) the increased billing costs c) interest expense on operating funds not now required d ) decreased volume 6) Wi t h meters , will a consumer be billed for actual usage , or will he pay a high base rate and be billed for usage over that rate? A high base rate is no more than a flat rate with an expensive meter attached , and this is Englewooo ·s cu rrent metered rate system . 7) How much will the flat rate increase along with the metered rate? Some people think meters won 't have any effect on their flat rate . 8 ) Why hasn 't the city tried other ways to reduce usage , such as selli ng water-saving shower restrictors , toilet devices . water timers etc ., through the water department. These certainly cost less than $50()-$1000 per home . 9) Lastly , how is it going to affect the quality of life in Englewood to go from a sound , well financed water system . operated at low cost to the users , to a metered system which provides : less water at higher cost with more city employes and more revenue collection problems -when there is no water shortage in Englewood ? 0 I ( ( , ... v. ,.:, 1,.,11oru home , ,wood Dr. Election of officers "of October bazaar. 798-414 1. r,oking clinic =linic for smokers will be con- 18-22 at Porter Memorial So .
