RESOLUTION N0. 69 -268
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE PUBLIC UTILITIES DIVISION
RATE SCHEDULE AS IT PERTAINS TO METER DEPOSITS
WHEREAS, in the interest of a more efficient operation
and with the view of a possible monthly billing in specific
commercial enterprises, remote reading water meters are needed
for all 1 -inch and larger water meters, and
WHEREAS, the present residential water meter deposit
is insufficient to cover the purchase costs and handling of
said meters.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota as follows:
1. For past meter installations 1 -inch and larger, a
remote reading device will be installed by the
Public Utilities Division and the cost therefor
billed to the customer. This cost is estimated
to be $25.00 per installation.
2. On new meter installations 1 -inch and larger, an
additional charge will be made to reflect the
cost of the remote reading device. This cost
will be included as a part of the meter deposit,
and the customer will bear the cost of the in-
stallation.
3. To reflect the higher cost of meters, the residen-
tial meter deposit (5/8" x 3/4 will be $35.00
after September 1, 1969. The meter refund will be
in the amount that was deposited by the respective
