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 additions to the .existing water-
works system..of said Town for. the purpose of providing. a sufficient
supply .of water.ofproperty 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 extensic;>ns and additions,
it is necessary for the Town to issue and sell watel1works revenue
bonds payable 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-
works 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 render.ed 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,
