TOTAL WATER SOLD OR METERED- This will be the sum of your meter readings at Main and Clark Streets and the readings at the Old Town intake. {The flow of Las Vegas Creek is not regarded as sold inasmuch as it is used for irrigating the Company Ranch) 9* TOTAL WATER UNACCOUNTED FOR- None, as all water passing thru our mains is presumed to be used by the consumers* 10.
