BOCA RATON NEWS 24 Pages Vol. 13, No. 141 Thursday, Oct. 24, 1968 Water bill increase approved by Council Paves way for plant expansion The water bills Boca Raton residents receive after the first of November will all be $1.50 higher. City Council Tuesday im- proved the across the board increase for all water users. The increase applies to the basic minimum charge and is the same for all meter sizes. No increase was voted in the rate charged for gallons above the minimum. The change was needed, ac- cording to Black, Crow and Eidsness, the city's consult- ing engineers for water and sewer projects, to pave the way for expansion of the sys- tem. Dr. Fred Eidsness has informed the Council that with- out the increase and an im- proved earning schedule, the city would not be able to issue revenue certificates for the Florida Atlantic University coed Jeanne Giersher gets a necessary improvements. jump on old man time and practices turning the clock ahead.
