repair; providing fo.r maintenance and repair of fire serva.ce installations; defining
water service connections and street service connections and making miscellaneous
revisions to, the test of the Water Code.
Financial , Budgetary and Personnel Impacts Anticipated:
Last revised in April, 1980, schedule chazges for street service connections and fire
servfces �ave eenerally been less than t e act�l cost. Schedule charges in the
proposed ordinance have been revised to be more consistent with Water Utility instal—
lation costs. Street service connections installed in the downtown area will be Charged at
actual cost in the pro osgd urdinance. A s hedule c�arges f��rthawing water service
