[QUOTE="john250, post: 1167619, member: 4406"] I was "chairman of the board' for a water district in Indiana. But apparently Missouri is different. Our district was originally funded by USDA, as a rural development project. Most of our rules were USDA rules. Not state rules. When Reagan tried to get the US out of the "grant" biz, we bought our USDA loan for pennies on the dollar. We were able to finance millions in improvements to the system at low rates from commercial banks. We had a genius businessman, not me, who ramrodded all this. We opted out of the utility regulators at the state (you can do that) and we set our own per gallon rates. We always get rate studies from accountants. We are accounted, studied, and we are damned good. Our rates/gal are below our nearby water companies. If you are still operating under a State of Missouri structure, do what you can to get out from under that. We stipulated that prospective board members had to file by Dec. 20 for an election early Feb. The board had to stipulate candidates by Dec. 20, also. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
