LUECKE, MAYOR <br />SouTH BEND WATER WORKS <br />JOHN E STANCATI <br />DIRECTOR <br />June 4, 1997 <br />South Bend Common Council <br />4th Floor, County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Dear Councilmembers: <br />PHONE 219 /235 -9322 <br />FAX 219/235 -9728 <br />TDD 219/235 -5567 <br />The South Bend Water Works has proposed a rate increase and bond issue in the amount of <br />$22,500,000 for capital improvements which are needed for the present and future of the utility. This <br />includes items such as reservoirs, booster stations, main extensions and filtration plants. <br />The distribution system will not only be improved as to the equalization of pressure and <br />increased storage, but also 80% of our water will now be filtered for the removal of iron from our <br />system. These projects are consistent with our master plan and represent a needed investment for one <br />of our most treasured assets. <br />The cost of these projects to our minimum users is $.07 per day and $.11 per day for our <br />average users. These increases will still keep us at the lower 25% of the municipalities rate chart and <br />$.27 a day less than the average private water companies in Indiana. <br />Sincerely, <br />0 F. Stancati Director <br />South Bend Water Works <br />Filed In Clerk's Office <br />JU=DUDA <br />LORmA J. <br />CITY CLeRK, SO. BEND, IN. <br />
