13. From your reading of the materials distributed by the City,' tell me briefly,
in your own words, what action regarding the water system you think the
City Council is considering? .
(INTERVIEWER - WRITE DOWN VERBATIM WHAT THEY SAY)
INTERVIEWER READ:
These next three questions relate to different parts of the City's proposal.
14. The City of Shorewood is considering converting the entire city to a
.central water system.
The city's water service is operating at a deficit. The balance of the deficit
in the water fund is currently greater than $200,000. This deficit is .
financed by City tax income. The deficit is expected to increase over th~
next 20 years. The investment cost of a city-wide water system is
projected to be $13 milllion dollars. This investment would be paid back
by special assessments and water revenues over time. The water
system would then be expected to operate on a break-even basis,
reducing the need for tax support.
Do you support a capital investment in a new city water system or do you
oppose this expenditure?
1 ) Support
2) Oppose
. 15. If a central water system is adopted, property owners on wells would be
asked to choose a hook-up time which is most convenient for them over a
five year period of time. Would you support this five year conversion
period from well water to city water or would you oppose it?
1) Support
2) Oppose
