Assuming both governments sign the new contract ...
The county will no longer be required to buy city water -- something it's been doing for 20 years.
The county now guarantees it will SELL up to four million gallons a day to the city -- if the city requests it.
Water will cost two-dollars-and-75-cents for a thousand gallons.
To pay for the deal ...
The city will hike water rates twice:
Eighteen percent in January, 2000...
Ten percent a year later.
For the average household... that means water bills eventually go up about three dollars a month.

(Sot: Steve Maran, NASA Astronomer)
The bright band of sunlight you see around the moon during an eclipse is
called the corona. Solar explosions that happen in this layer effect the

you can see the corona from the ground is during an eclipse.
