Warm Weather
Boosts Water
Receipts Here
Thirsty lawns gave city wa-
ter meters a workout last month
as the figure jumped from 33,-
181.000 gallons in March to 53,-
315.000 gallons in April, the City
Water Department reported
Wednesday.
A slight gain also was report-
ed in the number of water cus-
tomers, 3,547 in April as com-
pared with 3,532 in March. A
year ago, the City was serving
3,308 users, while five years ago
the figure was 2,593.
The City also was using the
water in its parks, the meter
reports would indicate; total
pumped in April was 57,709,000
gallons while the March figure
was 38,105,000 gallons.
The increased use of water
also boosted greater water re-
ceipts for April. The total was
$17,355.15 as compared with
$13,149.72 in March. Sewer col-
lections totaled $5,237.60 in April
and $5,214 in March. Garbage
fees, however, declined slightly,
$3,884.75 in April as compared
with $3,983.45 in March.
Total receipts in the water
department for water, sewer
and garbage was $26,477.50 in
April, while March’s figure was
$22,347.17.
