Dear Valued Customer,
I would like to thank all of you for your continued support over the last 3 years. We here
at Synagro strive to maintain the quality of service you expect and deserve. We have been
doing everything possible to keep our cost as well as yours down.
For the first time in over 5 years we find it is necessary for us to increase the cost of
operation throughout the Keys. This is due in part do to high cost of supplies. Mainly,
this increase is necessitated by the increasing cost of maintaining quality employees in
the Monroe County economy. This is one of our highest priorities in the coming years is
to insure quality service to our customers. Your fee for operations will be increased by
$50.00 per month beginning in January 2002. I am pleased to report that the fees for
laboratory analyses and sludge hauling cost will remain unchanged.
f;
Synagro is using its nationwide resources to continue giving you the best service possible
now and into the future. If you have any questions please give me a call at 305-731-4416.
A reminder notice will be mailed out with the November billing statement
Sincerely,
David Evans
