Lagoon is in the new again concerning the rate they pay for water. The Standard Examiner posted an article last night discussing the change to their water rate and noted that Lagoon has been working hard to reduce the amount of water it uses. Here are some of the highlights from the article:

Quote:The new commercial rate is expected to have a significant impact on Lagoon, because the amusement park was charged at a different rate than other commercial users when new water rates were enacted July 1, 2010, as part of the 2010-11 fiscal year budget.

Quote:The change will lower costs for Lagoon, but potentially raise them for other commercial customers because of a change in the base fee for meters.

Quote:Johnson said usage for commercial users was down from projections, especially for Lagoon. The amusement park used more than 21 million gallons of culinary water in 2011, compared to more than 50 million gallons the year before.

Quote:In a letter to city officials in July 2011, Dave Freed, one of the co-owners of the amusement park, said his company had invested $19,000 in new equipment and staff time to implement a new system to monitor water usage.
