An Ordinance establishing rates and charges for
the use of and services rendered by the water-
works system of the Town of Carmel
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Carmel has
authorized the making of extensions and additi'ons to the existing water-
works system..of said Town for the purpose of providing. a sufficient
supply.of water of property quality, at proper pressure, to the inhabit-
ants of the Town and properly protecting the health, well-being and
property of said Town and its inhabitants; and
WHEREAS, in order to procure the necessary funds to pay the
cost of construction and installation of said extensions and additions,
it is necessary for the Town to issue and sell waterworks revenue
bonds paya.ble solely out of the revenues of said waterworks system,
which revenues under the existing schedule of rates and charges are
insufficient to enable the Town. to finance the needed extensions and
additions; and
WHEREAS,. the Board of Trustees now finds that the existing
rates and charges for the use of and service rendered by the water-
wOTks of said Town are too low and are insufficient to enable the Town
to properly operate its waterworks plant, provide for depreciation,
and finance said extensions and additions; that the proposed exten-
sions and additions will improve the service rendered by said water-
works system and make the same of greater value to the Town and its.
inhabitants., and that the existing rates and charges should be increased;
now therefore,
