1 To the Ratepayers of the Village
of Exeter,—
The Public Utilities Commission ha
had under consideration for some the
some e s *st
m em tolae-s
enth p e e
r e
s ntex
cessive Dost of pumping water supply
u: ed in variou l ways in, our village
e
s
e
'Ihns matter has been held in abeyant
waiting too see if costs" of material
etc would not be fess than it ha
been the last few ,years), But from
present outlook this does not look
possible, and owing to our present se
e ice and ;not berate as satisfactory a.
we wattle dike it ,to be, we, as a conn
mission, decided to have an engietee
of the Hydro Department look we
our .present plant and submit to u
what he considered a system which
we could operate at less eost than
atpresent alit give us a better ser-
vice.
After his inspocteon here we had
two propositions submitted to us, and
the one which we decided upon: would
do what we require, ;is as follows
We would install a 15 horsepower mo
tor and pump combined, which would
rlelieer 180 gallons per minute; This
weulsl be so arranged with automatic
starter and valve, so ,that as soon as
water in el�evatcd tank reached a
cart 't set e
c art sl vel, motor would start
a 1 when tank was filled to a certain
Set level ,motor would be shut off:
this means a. water supply at all
ne would be assured, The approx-
lm.te cost of installing the above out-
fit4t•, vvabout 27
t would be ab .. 00 00
.u
Now itiswell a el known n your com-
mission,
m
mission Inas ho fund for water work
extension. We are furnished with
what we want to meet our expenses
from time to time by the Village
Council. It was, therefore impos-
sible for us to proceed with this
needed appliance without first lay-
ing the matter before the council,
This was done on Monday night,
with the result that Council accept-
ed the recommendation of the Com-
mission, and a committee was ap-
pointed to report on the best way
to raise the monay for the purpose
asked.
We might say again that the cost
of operating our present system, is
about $879.00 for five months in the
year when water wheel could not be
used. Far the above five mouths
eost of operating with hydro would
cost only $490,00. This included all
service charges and other expense
in connection therewith. This is an
annual saving of $389,00 and in
about six years would pay for itselt.
We wil not only be saving money by
installing the above system but we
'ill be able to insure you a esatisxac-
•tory and efficient water supply at,
all time. We remain`,

Chairman Public Utilities Cora.
