shall be and are hereby declared to be the same as the rates
established or hereafter established for consumers located

SUBJECT , Ordinance Prescribing Water and Sewage Rates ------_
for Carswell Air Force Base, Texas
TO : Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Fort Worth
Fort Worth, Texas
Mrs. McKnight and Gentlemen:
1. My position in asking for the passage of the attached
ordinance is based solely on the following facts.
a. The entire water distribution system, including all
meters, is owned, operated and maintained by Carswell Air
Force Base. The only expense incurred by the City of Fort
Worth is the reading of our five master meters.
b. There are no fire service costs to the city whatso-
ever in that all of the fire plugs and other equipment are
maintained by Carswell Air Force Base.
c. This housing area is located on Federal property
which is adjacent to and is an integral part of Carswell
Air Force Base.
d. This amending ordinance is drawn so restrictively
that the city would lose only a small amount of revenue,
since we are speaking of Federal Property, Carswell Air
Force Base Housing only, and no other privately-owned
housing areas.
2. I am attaching a map of our Carswell Housing area so
that you can more graphically see the location of the five
meters which the city reads, and the wide span of the in-
ternal water distribution system which the Federal Govern-
ment owns, maintains, and operates at its own expense.
3. I respectfully ask your acceptance and passage of
this proposed ordinance.
Sincerely
