BARTONVILLE WATER SUPPLY CORP.
’■ZkffZi- , -r - -
the Bartonville Water Supply
Corporation service area but vast
areas of Texas as well. As a result
of the current drought conditions,
BWSC like many areas of the
state may experience the follow-
ing:
The potential for decreasing water
supplies as lake and possibly
ground (well) water supplies feel
the affect of long term periods
without rainfall.
As one might expect, with dry
conditions comes an increase in
water demand as customers
attempt to salvage landscapes
and irrigate as a defense against
fire. As the growing season begins
the demand will also increase
even more. In addition, wildfires
are now placing an increased
demand on water resources and
public drinking water systems.
The consequences of drought can
be severe and as you know,
can not control the weather/
amount of rainfall; however, we
can all do our part to conserve
water and make the best of what
could be a long term situation. We
can all address water loss,
whether it be from a water main or
storage tank or from a sprinkler
system line, leaking toilet, or
dripping faucet.
Remember, BWSC has it's color
coded water conservation signs
(currently green) throughout our
service area.
Please take note of these signs as
they are our means of communi-
cating "conditions" to you our
customers.
If you do not have a copy of
BWSC's water conservation plan
please contact the office for a
copy.
Thank you for your support.

Retirement Dilemma: Pension or Payout

Picture this: you are getting ready to retire from your company where you have been a
loyal employee, working hard for 40 years. The company offers you a $350000 lump sum
payment instead of a $1600 lifetime pension. To quote a popular TV show, deal? Or no
deal? Even though many of us would like to be in this situation the truth is this is a
major decision and there is no easy answer. The dilemma to take the pension or the
payout is quite common in the current corporate, post employment world. So what
should one consider in order to make an informed decision?
The main attraction in taking the pension is that you do not have to manage a large sum
in a way that it will last you for the rest of your life. In fact there would be no manage-
ment involved except to remember to cash your check. Here you have the perceived
security of a lifetime income. Sounds good so far, right? Only problem is that pesky word
perceived. Perceived because this monthly check is dependent upon the company’s
ability to pay for many years that lie ahead, and as we know from talking to our friends
who work for steel companies and airlines things can get a little shaky. So by accepting
monthly payments you are tying your economic future to that of the company, not a
comforting thought. Of course as I wrote in my last column there is somewhat of a safety
net. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, a federal corporation that will come to
the rescue of failed pension plans. But the PBGC does have limits and how long will the
safety net last with so many industries in trouble?
The advantages of the lump sum option are mainly having more control over your
money. For example lets say after you retire you decide to go into business for yourself
and you need a large amount of cash to fund it. By taking the lump sum the money
would be available. So if you are
comfortable managing the funds to
create lifetime income while still
maintaining access to a portion of
your money you may want to take
the payout. By the way, help is
available to manage your nest egg.
You can always seek the help of a
financial advisor. The advisor can
determine your risk tolerance,
customize a plan suited to you,
and working with your CPA can
also help you with the tax issues
concerning the lump sum distribu-
tion.

is
Ultimately, if you are not comfort-
able managing a large sum of
money then the pension may be
the way to go. If, on the other
hand, you want more control and
flexibility over your retirement
funds and you are comfortable
managing or hiring a financial
advisor to manage your nest egg
than the lump sum might make more sense.
