"-'.;, <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Brown: <br /> <br />Re: Proposed Increase in Water and Sewerage Rates <br /> <br />Sale Knitting Co. urges that consideration be given to keeping the water and <br />sewerage rates as low as possible to enable local industries to remain <br />competitive with similar industries in other locations. At the present time, <br />the combined rates for water and sewerage for Sale Knitting Co. are 71~ per <br />1,000 gallons whereas it is our understanding that the proposed rates for <br />water and sewerage would be $1.00 per 1,000 gallons or an increase of 40.8%. <br />Needless to say, this large increase in water and sewerage rates will have <br />a significant effect on the cost of our finished product. <br /> <br />It would definitely have an effect on future decisions to enlarge the present <br />facilities at Sale Knitting Co. and undoubtedly have an effect on a decision <br />for some other industry locating within the city which might use large <br />quantities of water. As an example, one of the Tu1tex companies, Roanoke <br />Fashions located in Roanoke, Virginia pays a combined rate for water and <br />sewerage of approximat1ey 45~ per 1,000 gallons. <br /> <br />Sale Knitting Co. is currently using approximately 2,500,000 gallons per day <br />and it is projected that with our latest expanison, our water needs would be <br />in excess of 3,000,000 gallons per day. <br /> <br />In addition, it is assumed from previous conversations and requests, that the <br />city will have ample capacity to supply Sale Knitting with approximately <br />3,000,000 to 3,500,000 gallons per day. <br /> <br />We thank you very much for considering this information when new rates for <br />water and sewerage are discussed. <br /> <br />Yours truly, <br />......// _ --I .7 '. . <br />~./ ',f /../ ) <br />/~~.~ r~~ <br />H.
