MEMORANDUM
TO BWR. Kirk,

City Administrator

FROM: T.M. Chong, P. Eng.,
city Engineer

SUBJECT: Request for Budget Increase ~ Water Maintenance Account
(Public Works Committee Meeting November 22, 1988}

Recommendation:

That the Water General Maintenance Budget (Account Mo. 62122) be increased
by $34,000 and that this amount be funded by the unexpected higher revenues to
be credited to the Water Utility Fund.

Background and Comments:

The attached memo from the Operations Manager provides details supporting
this request. Briefly, the additional funds requested are needed to off-set
the unusually large number of water service leaks which have occurred this
year. Statistics provided by the Operation Manager indicate that the total
number of service leak calls in 1987 was 184. As of October 24, 1988 we have
had 233 calls. In addition, responding to Council's wish to provide better
Surface restoration after City crews have effected repairs, additional
expenditures have been incurred.

in searching the source of funds for this request, the City Treasurer
ises that there will be much more revenue collected under the Water Utility

e
than initially forecasted.
