(6) Cost of Water to District, (a) From BMI - $60.00 Ter MG. (b) From Lake Mead - $0.50 per acre-foot $1.53/MG) . For comparison with present charges, the cost of water to the customers of the Las Vegas Land and Water Company has been computed. During 1948, the total reoeiptsof the Water Company for the sale of water were $188,750, and the amount of water sold was 3,539 million gallons. This resulted In a cost of $53.30 per MG.
