Following the presentation, the Commission requested that Town staffe explore the possibility of establishing a higher rate for large water and sewer users oft the system. Town staff asked Raftelis to determine ift there is a cost basis to establish a higher rate for large water and sewer users of the system. This memorandum summarizes Raftelis' exploration and findings. Water Rates for Large Users When establishing water rates for different customer classes, a significant factor in determining each class's cost recovery is the peaking factor, which signifies the demand each class imposes on the water system by comparing water use int the maximum month to the average monthly usage throughout the year. Raftelis examined billing data provided by the Town staffand concluded that the peaking factor for larger users closely resembles that of other customers. Hence, this factor does not offer a valid cost justification for implementing al higher water rate for larger users. Sewer Rate for Large Users For the sewer system, high-strength surcharges serve to ensure that large users, particularly industrial ones, contribute proportionately to the expenses associated with treating the strength oft thes sewer: flow directed to the treatment plant. The term "strength" refers toj pollutants present int the sewer flow that are highly concentrated and exceed acceptable limits. These surcharges are determined based on the pollutant strength treated at the sewer plant. A significant portion oft the larger user: flow in the Town is directed to Davie County for treatment rather than being processed at the Town's sewer plant. Presently, Davie County does not assess high-strength surcharges on sewer flow. Therefore,  right now, there is not al basis for establishing al higher rate for large users.

Commissioner Lambert says sidewalks are aj priority. Town Manager does not have al location in mind but over $120,000 budgeted for sidewalks. There is design and planning involvedi int the cost. Town Manager would like the Board to discuss and give him direction where they would like as sidewalk segment. State grant funds are all accounted for and budgeted projects have been submitted for these funds. Commissioner Lambert states that the roundabout created an opportunity maybe extending either to Wilkesboro Street or Yadkinville Road and back to the Senior Center. There is a collection of broken sidewalk in the area and it is aj popular walking route. Since there is interest in this area would you do a budget amendment for this project? Town Manager says we. have over $300,000 in Powell Billl Funds. The Board can decide how much for resurfacing and how much for sidewalks out of Powell Bill. Town Manager needs a consensus from thel Board on resurfacing and sidewalks. You can call a Special Meeting Commissioner Draughn would like to see the roundabout connected to Wilkesboro Street.
