He <br /> noted that initially you must define the problem-those <br /> customers who have three-quarter inch and one inch meters. <br /> He further noted that there are 37,256 South Bend customers <br /> and 642 Clay utility customers. In order to satisfy those <br /> customers who have three-quarter and one inch meters, the <br /> cost would be on an annual basis $5.86 to each of the South <br /> Bend customers and $64. 51 to each of the Clay utility <br /> customers. <br /> It was noted that the $18.20 is a minimum charge per month <br /> even if no water is actually used.

He noted that he is required to send to the State <br /> Health Board a letter verifying capacity on each of the new <br /> annexations can be properly addressed. <br /> Council Member Niezgodski questioned whether the present <br /> sewer line could handle the second plant for I/N Tek. Mr. <br /> Leszczynski noted that a second line would be needed but <br /> that' funds from the state, the county, and I/N Tek and no <br /> city monies would be involved. He also noted that I/N Tek <br /> would be receiving their water from New Carlyle and not the <br /> City of South Bend. <br /> Council Member Duda questioned whether the geographic area <br /> would be similar to that encompassing University Park Mall. <br /> Mr. Leszczynski noted that that geographic area could be <br /> properly handled by South Bend.
