March 29, 1949 I n Mr, Lee S, Scott Secretary Public Service Commission C&reon City* Hev&da COPY Bear Lee: A# you know, we are n w extending water ®ains to Bon&ana Village Tract under our usual Rule 9-A arrangement with Waale, Caspian & Tiber ti, the subdivi&era, and expect to take ever service to that tract in the next month or six weeks. One of the new services we will inherit includes a private swimming pool which has heretofore been served by a well* but vlllnow be served from the city mains* and question arises as to proper rat® to apply. Our- present rate schedule provides a charge of 130,00 per month of 9000 cubic feet capacity or less and this searns fair and equitable for a cojmser-d e l type swimming pool which accomodates a large number of people and for which a per capita charge Is made. However* it seems rather high for & private pool used by no one but the consumers family? The pool in question is approximately 20 x ho feet and assuming an average of 5 feet deep, the pool would hold hO00 cubic feet or about 30,000 gallons. Re­capture device is used and chlorine added to keep the water clear, I bad in mind an arrangement of special con­tract to cover this service, which is permitted under cur regulations, and will appreciate your suggestions as to a rate that would be fair and equitable "to both the consumer and the Water Company, have no doubt similar situations exist in Reno and X will appreciate it if you will let me know what is charged there for private swimming pools. Very truly your®, A. Me FOl,QER O e n e m 1
