They currently provide Water to River Road PSD. Their revised tariff becomes effective October 4,2008. We ask that you approve our attached 30-B application so that we can have our rates in place for services rendered after October 4,2008. I ask this so that we do not miss a billing cycle when Morgantown Utility Board places their rates into effect and we incur additional costs which the district at this time cannot absorb. If you should have any questions feel free to contact me. Sincerely yours, Michelle Malone River Road, PSD
