2003-06-10 WAC & SAC Request

Ms. Goeb And Mr. Peterson
I would like to take this opportunity to address the WAC & SAC fees that have been
proposed for our car wash project. I asked Professional Carwash Systems, Inc.(PCS) to
provide some information on the Mobil SpectraWash Tunnel (recently constructed at
CR37 & CR19 in Albertville). This system utilizes 90 to 100 gallons per wash. The
LaserWash 4000, which is the system we are proposing to install for our car wash, uses
approximately 41.5 gallons per car wash, or nearly half of the per wash usage for the car
wash at the Mobil Station.
The formula PCS utilizes for projecting car wash usage is one car wash per 75 gallons of
gas sold. On average, we have been selling 2,500 gallons of gas a day for the past two
years. Given our gasoline sales, we expect to wash 1000 cars per month, which would
result in an average usage of 41 ,500 gallons of water a month. Given the decreased water
usage of the LaserWash System and our projected volume, I would like to request
lowering the proposed WAC and SAC fees for our project. Additionally, we paid SAC
fees for the convenience store access in 1999 with the improvements that were completed
at that time. I sincerely appreciate your consideration.
Thanks,
?~ !tAr--

Rob,
In checking the water usage specifications on our SpectraWash tunnel
system and noting that the existing tunnel wash in town is very similar
(and a competitor), we can assume that the water usage per car is
approximately the same. A SpectraWash tunnel will use 90-100 gallons
per vehicle.
To this same issue, I have enclosed a specification on our LaserWash
4000 system, the same as we have proposed for your location. As you
can see, the weighted average per vehicle is 41.5 gallons, or less than
half of the above mentioned tunnel.
Please contact me if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
~~
