Dear Mr. Bell:
AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT NO. 5724 FOR
ADJUSTMENT OF SANITARY SEWER SERVICE
CHARGE RATES

The purpose of this letter is to advise that the sanitary sewer service charges
for your City are to be adjusted every five years in accordance with Contract
Number 5724. The adjusted rate shall be made effective October 1, 1978.
Due to the rate of inflation and the extremely high standards placed on Village
Creek Plant Effluent, it is becoming increasingly difficult to project mainte-
nance and operation costs over the next five-year period. We suggest that you
consider an amendment of the Sanitary Sewer Contract so that the charges can be
reviewed and adjusted each year. It should be easier to adjust the rates to your
customers a little at a time rather than a large amount each five years.
The charge rate would be lower for the current year and would change each year,
based on the anticipated budget expenditures for that year.
It is therefore considered in the best interests of both parties to Contract
No. 5724 to amend that agreement to reduce the period between Charge Rate adjust—
ments to one year instead of the five-year period stipulated in the agreement.
Accordingly, it is proposed by this Letter of Agreement to amend Contract No.
5724 to the effect that the next charge rate adjustment shall be made effective
October 1, 1978, with a similar rate adjustment to be made for each succedding
one-year period thereafter for the term of the contract.
If you desire to amend Contract No. 5724 in the manner described above, please
endorse this letter of agreement in the space provided below, and return three
of the endorsed copies to this office. Upon receipt,of these copies, suitable
steps.will be taken to secure City of Fort Worth endorsement, and a fully
endorsed copy of this Letter of Agreement will be returned for your files.
