SUSPENDING RESOLUTION NO. 50-76 AND FIXING
AND ESTABLISHING WATER RATES, CHARGES AND
RELATED PROCEDURES
WHEREAS, the existing water rates were established by Resolution
No. 50-76 adopted June 7, 1976; and
WHEREAS, the San Francisco Water Department, which supplies water
to the City of Burlingame for all uses and purposes has raised the cost of
supplying water to the City to balance reduced income from conservation against
continuing fixed costs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after due study and deliberation, has
determined that the public convenience and necessity require that the price
of water to consumers supplied through the City's distributing system, both
within and without the City's corporate limits, as well as the various other
charges related to water service, must be increased to balance such increased
costs to the City; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council to revert to
those prices previously established upon the cessation of the drought condi-
tions and corresponding reductions in certain charges from San Francisco;
