year for hospitalization and from $2,0000 to $20,000 per year for

need to extend a minimum 12-inch water line at an estimated cost
of $18,750. The portion of this line in excess of 300 feet would
be subject to possible credits from his proposed off-site
facility fee of $6,554. The line extension is part of the future
north transmission line that will extend along Loch Haven Road
This line will be a 16-inch line. Mr. Rober~son recommended that
the County participate in the project by paying the difference in
cost for the 16-inch water line and additional length with the
total owner cost of $14,054 and County cost of $32,000.

Mr. Grice reported that on December 13, 1994 the Board
approved the plan for monthly billing of utility customers and
staff has developed a proposed ordinance to issue monthly utility
bills. Monthly billing would be phased in £eginning July 1 with
one third receiving an actual bill and two-thirds receiving an
estimated bill. The due date would be moved to the 20th of the
month following the bill date.
Penal ties would be applied to
monthly amounts but cutoff will only be done after the actual
meter reading. Mr. Grice advised that the net cost for monthly
billing will be approximately $32,000 for increased postage and
forms and a public information campaign.
Mr. Grice explained
that the reason for monthly billing was to be consistent with
most other utilities and to assist citizens in managing their
finances.
David Courey, 3419 Ashmeade Drive S.W., spoke in
opposition to the monthly billing because of the additional labor
and mailing costs.
Supervisor Eddy advised that he had offered some
suggested changes to the wording in ordinance.

violations with a penalty of $15.00 which is consistent with
other parking offenses.
Board members expressed concerns with several aspects
of the proposed ordinance including whether a warning could be
issued prior to ticketing and that the ordinance only be enforced
on public roadways not on private property.
