LUECKE~ MAYOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />GnIZY A. GILOT~ P.E. <br />DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />Apri13, 2002 <br />City Council President Roland Kelly <br />Re: Ordinance eliminating the curb valve from the leak insurance ordinance <br />The original 1976 ordinance did not include the curb valve replacement, it came into play in the <br />early eighties when the number of repairs could no longer be handled in house so they were <br />included in the leak insurance fund. <br />This ordinance would remove the curb valve from the leak insurance fund. This action would <br />eliminate the short fall in the fund. <br />The Water Works would do as many repairs in house as possible and the balance would be paid <br />out of the revenues. This ordinance will save the fund about $100,000.00 a year and keep it in a <br />positive position for as many as three to five years before it would need to be revisited. At this <br />time it will eliminate a need for a rate increase. <br />We are making a number of changes in the utility that will free up the money needed to cover the <br />cost. <br />We will make ourselves available to answer any questions you might have on the ordinance. <br />Sincerely, <br />Stanca ', Irector ~ - _ .. _ : .. ,_ __~ <br />South Bend Water Works ~~ <br />. _ . ,+ <br />ENGIlVEERBVG ENVIItONMENTAL SERVICES CENTRAL SERVICE <br />CARL LITTRELL~ P.E.
