The water service for the community as a whole Is now well policed and no dissatisfaction Is known to exist. The attached statement yields comparative data with respect to population, water revenue and service connections, The population In January 1941, whieh was before the influx, is estimated at 8700, In June 1948 it reached an estimated 19,000 which probably represents the peak. The increase of 10,300 is equivalent to 118$, Comparing the water revenues for these same months discloses an increase of 64$. There were 380 additional service connections - an increase of 26$. Water revenue for the first half of 1942 shows a 26*.6$ increase over a like period for the year 1941 and for the entire year 1942 the increase is estimated at 36$. The month by month increase in revenue for six months of 1942 over the corresponding months of 1941 rises sharply beginning with May. January,February and March are each approximately 16$. April raised to 17.8$; May to 43.5$ and June to 61.4$. Part of the increase in May and continuing into June, is due to approximately |800,00 additional monthly revenue resulting from the on-the-ground check of outlets made by accountants in April for which the increases were made effective as of May 1. July 1942 should show a corresponding increase over July 1941 and over June 1942 due to the further extension of outlets to new houses completed sines June. August and subsequent months for the year 1942 should also show substantial increases over previous months. The sale of water being on a flat rate basis, the increase in revenues with relation to population is somewhat delayed. This may extend over a period of from 48 to 90 days contingent on completion of additional housing and installation of new outlets. In contrast water sales on a metered basis would more closely follow the Increase in population because of greater consumption through existing outlets during the construction period of additional housing. In conclusion, it appears that the consumption of water at “as Vegas which is sold on a flat rate basis is under such circumstances in a satisfactory condition. A close check should be maintained of new structures and additional water-using facilities, and Mr.Bracken has this in mind. Enel. co-Mr. Frank Strongs^’ Mr. W.R.
