We, the Water Committee of the Crozet Sanitary District, Albemarle County,
hereby acknowledge receipt of the special survey proposed by Mr. Gerald Fi McMahon.
For the efficient operation of the Crozet Water System we recommend the
fo!lowing in this report:
Page 11 of Report - Debt Retirement:
we recommend that some plan be devised whereby the outstanding obligations
of the Crozet Sanitary District be satisfied within the space of 20 years if possible.
Page 11 of Report - Revenue Increase:
We recommend increasing the water rates as suggested - metering all ac-
counts - higher rates for service outside the Sanitary District.
We do not feel that any particular advantage is to be gained by billing
quarterly instead of monthly. We do not recommend requiring a deposit for all water
accounts b~t suggest that a strict policy be had as to payment of accounts.
Page 11 of Report - Water Main Extension:
We recommend that this be handled in accord with the outline in the report.
Page 12 of Report - Subdivision Regulations:
We recommend that the policy suggested in the report be put into effect.
Page 12 of Report - Connecting Charge:
We recommend that connection charges be $40.00 instead of the present
charge of $25.00.
We do not recommend increasing the size of the filtration plant which is
under construction, from 250,000 gallons to 500,000 gallons. This due to the ad-
ditional co.ts which would be necessary to increase the capacity. We do not feel
that at this time there is any anticipated need for this increase.

We-recommend that a statement relative to charges for Water, Connecting
Charges and other charges incident 'be made up and-each water c~stomer be furnished
a copy. That there should be sufficient copies made so that they may.be supplied

financial and Otherwise of ~tHe Cr0ze% S~nitary District be made at least each year
and a copy of the report be published. That in the future amy proposed program
which will necessitate any considerable outlay of funds be advertised in ~The
