Road to 229 North Triphammer Road had expressed willingness to go along with

NORTH TRIPHAMMER ROAD

Engineer Rogers reported further on cost of sewer project which supplemented
his re port on an increment cost basis presented to the Hoard at the May 29th
meeting. He brought out the fact that if required time for residents in
Northeast District to connect to sewer system was 5 years instead of 10 the
charge per unit would be less sooner.
Amazing as it may seem after all this analysis of costs the figures come out
with a $48.00 rate to the villagers and $72.00 for those outside the Village
or just the same as presently charged. However this report indicates that
an ultimate unit rate would be $27.00 inside the Village and $40.00 to outside.
