Re: Change in water rates
Woodside Estates, 3046 Coast Meridian Rocd

Dear Sirs

We have been advised there is a change pending in the rates that the City
of Port Coquitlam levies on water consumption, from a metered basis to a
flat rate of $4.00 per unit per month. I have calculated that this will
cost us $2496.00 per year which te at least twice what is being charged

at present.

The Council of Strata Plan N W 20 has instructed me to request that you
reconsider and reject the proposed change. They feel that a 100% increase
is not warranted due to the followings reasons:

- there is only a single connection to City mains to be maintained,
not 52 as the case would be if these were single family dwellings;

~- the water consumption for the outside of the buildings, te lawn
watering is much less on a per unit basis than that for single
family dwellings as there is much less land area per dwelling unit;

~ the charge levied by the City of Port Moody is only $25 annually on
developments of a similar nature.

Thank you for your consideration of the above matter.

Yours very truly
