CABARRUS COUNTY <br /> Post Office Box ?O? <br /> CONCORD. NORTH CAROLINA <br /> <br />MF~tORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mr. Charles McGinnis/ County Manager <br />FROM: Walter Odell/ County Engineer ~(~W, <br />DATE: July 15,1986 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: AMMENDMENT OF WATER POLICY <br /> <br />Several customers have purchased water connections for the sole <br />purpose of fire protection (sprinklers) inside of commerical or <br />industrial buildings. This water is not used except during a <br />fire or for testing. Currently there is no rate for this use <br />except on the normal meter schedule. The normal minimum size <br />connection is 6" which carries a monthly charge of $221.70 for <br />200,000 gallons of water. In reality 200 gallons per month <br />would not be normally used. <br /> <br />I would like to recommend that a stand-by charge be adopted for <br />fire line service that would be the same as the standard 3/4" <br />non residential usage rate. This would be a minimum of $11.20 <br />per month which would allow for 200 gallons of water. <br /> <br />If agreeable with you, the ammendment to the poli~y would have <br />to be approved by both boards. <br /> <br /> <br />
