SOUTH BEND WATER WORKS <br />EXPLANATION OF BUDGET CHANGES <br />-April 30, 1976 <br />ACMUNT db <br />28.0212 Postage:has been decreased $6,000. This =came about <br />by a change from our present water bill to a post <br />card bill. <br />28.0213 Travel: has been increased by 28 %. This money will <br />be used to further educate and better qualify Water <br />Works employees in newer and updated Water Dept. <br />proceedures. <br />28.0221 Electric Current: reflects a 33% increase anticipated <br />in late 1976. <br />28.0241 Printing Office Supplies & Other: has increased by <br />15 %. In 1975 the total miscellaneous printing was <br />$3,185.00. The budgeted amount in 1976 is $3,000.00. <br />28,0244 Maintenance Contracts: Office equipment shows a $2,000.00 <br />decreasefor 1977. In 1976 the total office equipment <br />contract came to $2,593.,52. We feel the cost of repairs <br />does not mdtch,the cost of the contracts. <br />28.0245 Maintenance Contracts Wells Pumps & Motors: reflects a <br />41% increase. The main reason for the increase is, <br />that in 1975 we were able to repair a few of the Pumps <br />& Motors which would have been budgeted for 1976. This <br />enabled us to keep the budgeted amount in 1976, the <br />same as 1975. We are unsure at the present time if <br />this can be done in 1977. <br />28.0246 Maintenance Contracts- Building & Structures: reflects <br />a 40% increase in 1977. The main reason for this increase <br />is that all pumping stations are in need of roof repair. <br />28.0247 Maintenance Contracts - Distribution System: reflects an <br />increase of 37% for 1977. At the present time we are <br />repairing a few water lines., which have very poor water <br />pressure. Sometimes the entire line has to be replaced <br />and a private plumber is called to do the work. We wish <br />to continue this program in 1977, and repair more lines <br />than what the budget allows us to repair in 1976. <br />
