begin the week of June 7 on
Grove Street, followed by
Center and Cross Streets.
With varying conditions to
be found at each location, an
exact schedule of construction
: is difficult to determine.
However, it is planned that
actual service connections
will continue to be made as an
on-going program as the
various sections of the system
are completed, inspected, and
approved. Traffic delays
should be minimal, said David
Stevens, Wells River Trustee.
The Wells River crossing
from Water Street to Maple
Street was started on June 1
but completion has been
delayed by the sudden high
water from the heavy rains of
June 2 . Construction will be
resumed as the water level
recedes, probably being
completed this week. The next
construction for that crew will
be the second river crossing
behind the Post Office. In
response to inquiries about
connections and the user
charges, the Trustees state
that there will be no charges
made until the system is
actually delivering sewage to
the Woodsville sewage
treatment plant at the com-
pletion of the Wells River
Village project, its inspection,
and state approval. The
contract completion date is
still set at October t8 , 1982,
and there is every reason to
believe that contractor Ralph
B. Goodrich of South
Burlington can meet the
deadline.
Resident Engineer Tom Key
said that it appears that the
project will be completed on
schedule, barring any now
unforeseen situations.
Tbe Trustees are very
'disappointed not to be able to
answer specific questions as
to the amount of the user
charges that will be put into
effect at the completion of the
.project, said Stevens. Those
user charges consist of two
components: a capital charge,
and an O&M charge. The
capital charge is the 30 year
bond issue payment covering
the costs of construction,
engineering and financing for
the local share of ap-
proximately 10 percent of the
total project costs.
That local share cannot be
accurately determined until
the final audit by the
Environmental Agency, which
makes the final and binding
determination as to what may
-- or may not -- be eligible for
state or federal funds.
Then, FHA has to determine

share costs. The O&M charge
is for Operation and Main-
tenance of the system, and is
made up largely of the charge
by Woodsville for treatment of
the sewage delivered to them
by the Wells River pumping
station. The charge is based
generally on a gallon volume
basis. The O&M charge also
includes operation of the Wells
River sewer system, the
pumping station, and a small
sinking fund for maintenance
and replacement.
The Trustees point out that
connections to the new sewer
system are required by all
buildings within the sewered
area, as stated in the sewer
ordinance.
Each building connected is
required to pay its share of the
capital costs portion of the
user charges. The O&M
portion is based on the water
consumption in the building.
Thus, an owner who does not
use water (vacant, etc.) will
not be paying the O&M
charges until he actually
discharges into the sewer,
although he will be paying the
capital portion of the fee.
As to the amounts of the
user charges: The Trustees
estimated at the annual
Village meeting in March that
the user charge total might be
$220 for an average family --
the question is what is an
average family ! Businesses
and commercial hook-ups will
be paying fees based on actual
water consumption, and are
not included in this average
classification.
For residences, the O&M
portion could be $120 average.
These as estimates only.
However, the trustees do feel
"reasonably confident" that
the total user charge will not
exceed this amount on an
average if all goes well and as
planned, said Stevens. Billings
are planned to be made
quarterly along with the water
bills.
The O&M portion of the
charge may vary con-
siderably from quarter to
quarter depending on the
amount of water used. The
capital portion would remain
relatively stable, varying only
as buildings or units are added
or taken off, said Stevens.
