At the water plant, by spending
a sum of $20,000 last .year, the
plant increased water output by
one third and one more step could
be taken this year at a cost of
another $20,000 to increase the
output by another third-brin: in

"Our big change last year was
in general rates," he noted, •"Ttte Sit. Mike's s

undue hardship to industry as well

•
Mr. Rolston explained that in
1954 the rates were increased in
Goderich, 12 years later the
commission decreased the rates
and in 1969 the first rate increase
was put: into effect in15 years, '
•
The reasons for. this increase
as outlined by the P•.U.C.
• Manager, were "Because the cost
of power ' has. increased to this
utility, copper wire costs have
doubled, , transformers and
material have increased, wages
are up, postage has increased and
as- a result the utility has no
choice but to increase rate -g-7
