With the proposed construction, approximately a 100 <br />per cent increase in the present rates would have to be imposed and new <br />tap fees would be increased substantially. <br />It is recommended that the project as herein described be con- <br />structed by the board to the extent of $900,000 with the provision that <br />the town of Hudson furnish additional financing to the extent of <br />$900,000 and that the project be recommended and submitted to the Colo- <br />rado General Assembly during the 1978 session as priority number nine. <br /> <br />FLS:mm <br /> <br />~~D2 <br /> <br />-3- <br />
