ITEM 3 - ACCEPTANCE OF AUGUST 1979 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Don Thompson asked Ken Kite about expenditures against the water and Ken
explained that this was for water used only. He also explained that we were
billed one month behind the actual use of the water.
Don Thompson asked if maybe our revenue coming into the city was enough to
pay for water purchased and it was pointed out that the city was not actually
using as much water as was indicated, because of the major water breaks that
have occurred.

Bill Williams indicated that he was trying to get information on water con-
sumption so we could accurately predict water usage in relation to water paid
for. This would need to be done by metering all water used. Mr. Williams
also indicated that Owasso had the lowest sewer rates of any city anywhere.
Mr. Spencer replied that those rates would have to be adjusted when the EPA
gave their guidelines.
Robbie Fickle requested Ken Kite get the actual amount consumed and actual
amount going through the master meter. Ken indicated that with the computor
we would be able to get how many actual gallons were billed to the customers
each month and we would be able to determine how much unmetered water was
being used or lost.
Bill Williams indicated that Rogers County was using some water through our
meter and he did not think this amount was being deducted from our water
billing. He indicated he would check this out to see if we are getting credit
for the water.
Motion was made by Robert Wrestler, seconded by Al Lambert, to accept the
August 1979 Financial Statements.
Ayes - Messrs Spencer, Thompson, Wrestler, Lambert, and Mrs. Fickle.
Nays - None.
Motion passed.
