SPRINGFIELD DIRECTORY - 1960

The entire supply of city water to any premises is furnished by meter only and at meter rates; the necessary meters are installed by the water department at expense of the consumers for the initial cost of the meters and connections only.

The cost of ordinary care and repair of all meters is borne by the water works; the cost of unusual repairs (necessitated by freezing, hot water, etc.) due or attrib- utable to any carelessness, or neglect on the part of the consumer, will be charged to the consumer or owner.

METER RATES

(Subject to all rules and regulations) For each 100 cubic feet (748 gallons) of water as registered or estimated for each meter the rates shall be as follows: Quarterly for each meter 1 to 5,000 cu. ft., .24 cents per 100 cu. ft., 5,000 to 60,000 cu. ft., .16 cents per 100 cu. ft .; all over 60,000 cu. ft., .09 cents per 100 cu. ft. The minimum quarterly water charges for each meter will be as follows:

Meter Size Min. Quarterly Chg.

1/2" and 5/8"-$ 2.50

3"-$ 25.00

3/4"-

3.00

4"- 50.00

5.00

6"- 100.00

1 1/2"-

9.00

10"- 200.00

2"- 15.00

Fire Line Meter (All Sizes, 6.00)

Each quarterly period will be computed and charged for independently of any other quarterly period and the rates therefore shall be paid accordingly.

When a meter from any cause fails to register the consumption of water, the quantity shall be estimated and the charge made based upon the registration by the meter when in order or upon the registration for corresponding prior quarter or perlod.

Miscellaneous and Temporary Uses - In cer- tain cases of miscellaneous and temporary uses of city water, where the quantity may be small, the charge for the same may be estimated instead of being shown by meter, at the discretion of the Water Registrar and the Supt.

The Water Registrar shall have the right to re- quire an advance deposit as security for the payment of water bills, when he shall consider it for the interest of the city to do so; such deposit not to exceed a year's minimum rate for the property to be supplied or a reasonable estimate of the probable annual amount of such bills. All bills due the City on account of the Muni- cipal water works shall be payable at the office of the City Collector, Room 137, Municipal Building, Court and Pynchon streets within twenty days after the same are rendered and become due.

Inquiries and claims for correction should be made at the office of the Water Registrar, Room 319, Municipal Building.

Delinquent water bills are a lien on real estate.
