I. wocild like to -refer you to ;my letter of May 17, 1960 in which I stated that due to a defective meter, we had been quite s(eriouslp overcharged for water, during the years 1958 . -1959, We have now completed a full year with the repaired meter and I am able to estimate what this overcharge was. I an listing below the charges for the dates in question, and also for the last year for comparison. January 2, 1958-May 2, 1958 2999222. Cu. Ft. May . 2, 1958-August w, 1958 - 6319280 Cu. Ft.

There was .tug reason why we would use more water in 1958 and 195'9. I discussed this situation w-ith your agent, Lee Lavery, several times and told him I thought the meter was wrong. On two different occasions, we shut all water outlets off and checked the meter to see if we had any leakso None were found='arid with all water outlets shut bff,- the meter was still. In adjusting gallons in 1958 and 1959 to the gallons used in 1960, I feel I was overcharged $2709.73, and I am therefore, entering a claim for that amount.
