Maintenance expense may vary considerably from year to year pursuant <br />to the City's Long Term Water & Sewer Systems Maintenance and Capital <br />Improvements Plan adopted in 1963. The Plan advocates a proactive vs reactive <br />aoorcach :o system maintenance in the belief that preventive maintenance is the <br />least expensive coticn over the long term. The maintenance activity fcr 1994 is a <br />well inspection and preventive maintenance of its pumping equipment. <br />Debt Service costs of $239,873 have been budgeted for 1994 and represent annual <br />debt service on a $1.5 million bond issue for system improvements. During the Fall <br />of 1969 and early Winter of 1990, the consulting engineering firm of Short Elliott <br />Hendrickson performed a study of the City's utility system which evaluated system <br />capacity, future needs and ccrstructicniimprovement costs associated with the <br />projected needs. This Engineering Study concluded that to provide for the future <br />needs of users of the water system through the year 2CC0 the City should: 1) <br />upgrade its water treatment plants, 2) redevelop a well and install a generator at the <br />ground reservoir to provide a back-up system of filling the water tower in the event of <br />a power failure. An annual acpro criaticn for Cebt Service will be a part of Water <br />Utility Gudgets until the bonds are retired in 2013. <br />
