The U.S. Army Finance and Accounting Officer (Finance Officer) at Fort Devens, Massachusetts has requested authority to pay $177,624.13 to the Boston Water and Sewer Commission (Commission) for water and sewer services provided to Army facilities in Boston during the period June 15, 1978 to July 24, 1979 without benefit of a written contract.

He estimates that the bill for the latter-period will be about $140,000. The Finance Officer reports that the Commission's bills have gone unpaid because the Army challenged the statements rendered, believing that they were based on inflated usage estimates. The Finance Officer has now submitted vouchers for the $177,624.13 along with certi- fication that the services billed for in that amount have been furnished. le further reports that additional amounts on the Commission's statements for interest and late charges have been deducted and will not be paid.
