SERVICES �i I I I FACT: Sanitation service would be improved and would cost less if Sandy Springs joined Atlanta. In addition to two garbage collections each week, residents would receive other services now available only within the city limits : rubbish pickup, street cleaning, gutter cleaning, and sanitary inspection. Sandy Springs now has two rates for residential garbage collection, $28 or $35 a year, depending on location . Inside the city the maximum residential charge is $22 a year . FACT: Water bills inside the city are one-half those outside the city . Most homes and businesses in Sandy Springs already get _their water from the city under on arrangement between the city and the county. However, users outs ide the city are billed at a double __ rote . The minimum monthly rote inside Atlanta is $1.57; outside it is $3. 14. Therefore, the annual savings on water bills in the city is at least $18.84. And since most homes use~than the minimum water supply, savings for most people would be even greater .
