They were: 1. What is the cost on av- erage to treat a cubic metre of water? 2. What amount of water is treated at the Water Treatment Plant versus the amount of water that is charged to local consumers? The answers from the town on these are: 1) In 2009, the total budgeted expense for water was $197,316.72 and 161,090 cubic me- tres were produced. So theoretically it cost $1.22 to produce a cubic metre of water. However, it is important to note that this does not take into account the inevitable expense of the sewage treatment, the $48,721.00 deficit in the utility in 2009, or the 2010 municipal accounting changes, which allocated additional expenses to the utility.
