POST PHOTOS/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Water rates —— (continued from page 1) slight decrease. All the systems were formerly owned by National Utilities, which was forced to di- vest them after years of service complaints. In filing the increase, company officials said additional money is needed for capital improvements, primarily replacement of main wa- ter lines. “These are old systems that we bought,” said Vice President Richard Subasic. The upgrades will improve both water quality and fire protection, he said. The company has asked the PUC to approve the request effec- tive Jan. 14. Because the PUC typ- ically suspends requests up to nine months to permit an investi- gation and analysis, customers might not see an increase until August. Subasic also said the company is taking steps to consolidate rates for all of its Pennsylvania water systems. The rate decreases are occurring in areas where the rates have been high. Based on the proposed rate changes, customers would see the following changes to average monthly bills: e Maplecrest (35 customers): From $24.44 to $35.29 per month, a 44 percent increase. o Midway Manor (250 cus- tomers), Rivercrest (200 cus- tomers) and Warden Place (100 customers): From $20.64 to $29.35 per month, a 42 percent in- crease. e Oak Hill (100 customers): From $39.83 to $39.47 per month, a 1 percent decrease. e Rhodes Terrace (50 cus- tomers): From $29.69 to $35.29, a 19 percent increase. eo Sunrise Estates (200 cus- tomers): From $26.47 to $35.29, a 33 percent increase. e.

The outbreak of Mad Cow Disease in that area is the reason for the restric- tion. Every day there is something else that makes the donor pool decrease, Groody said. “That’s why we re- ally need everyone to pick up the slack.” Anyone interested in donating should allow about one to one and a half hours.
