 How do you cater to the needs of senior citizens?                       
                                                                         
                                                                         
                                                                         
 "What we came up with seems to be working well. We sent a note [to      
 households] that said, 'If you are over 62 years of age or if you are   
 disabled, call for special rates.' Almost 10 percent of our population  
 has called and about 5 percent are on the special rates right now. The  
 special rate for senior citizens is a 10-percent discount. They can     
 choose any service option they want, because we found that their needs  
 varied."
