il first talked
of the water improvements
system several years ago when
it drew up a comprehensive
list of' projects it felt were
conducive to the growth and
needs of Lititz.
At that time the water im­provements
were estimated to
cost $390.000. Labor and ma­terial
costs in the intervening
years have shot that estimate
to $425,000.
Council is optimistic the im­provements
can be made and
paid for without increasing
water rates. Financing would
be done under a relatively new
non-debt revenue service which
releases the borough from set­ting
up a "Water Authority to
circumvent the muncipal bor­rowing
laws.
Under authority procedure
the borough would have no
direct control over the utility
because it . merely leases it
from the authority until the
debt is retired.
