-$2 to $6.

This change will be implemented at

facilities including the North Shore

customers made use of the five transfer
stations in the district system. By 1997,
usage had grown to 612,000 customers
annually, a total increase of 31%, The
increase is 4% higher than the region’s
rate of population growth,

the traffic at cach fa itv.

The historical increase has been exac-
