BENEFITS:
A) Village Benefits - Applicant participation in finding and acquiring
for the Greenport Water System, well sites which should assist
Greenport in obtaining quantity and quality needed to serve its
present francise.
B) Applicant (Self-Sustained) - Since an applicant falling into the
Self-Sustained Category will be considered separate and aside from
those described as System Sustained, this may expedite "hook up into
the system.
C) Applicants (System-Sustained) - The hope is that there will be provided
through the Self-Sustained mechanism, an over all excess which, combined
with Greenport Water System's efforts to seek new wells, will facilitate
faster inclusion of system sustained described applicants into the
Greenport Water System.
