Ordinance 22-01

EXHIBIT A

The following rate part of Exhibit A shall be billed monthly unless stated herein otherwise or other arrangements are made with the District.  The fee and charge part of Exhibit A shall be due when the particular service or event covered by the fee or charge is rendered or occurs.

1.  Water User Rate:

a.   Water Within the District:    $32.00

For the first 899 cubic feet of water used, regardless of amount, the rate will be $32.00 per month, $2.00 per 100 cubic feet of water used between 900-1799, $3.00 per 100 cubic feet for water used between 1800-2699 & $4.00 per 100 cubic feet for water used above that amount.

b.   Water Outside the District:    $48.00

For the first 899 cubic feet of water used, regardless of amount, the rate will be $48.00 per month, $2.00 per 100 cubic feet of water used between 900-1799, $3.00 per 100 cubic feet for water used between 1800-2699 & $4.00 per 100 cubic feet for water used above that amount.

c.   Rounding Up:

For purposes of this calculation, any portion of 100 cubic feet of water used shall result in a billing for the whole 100 cubic feet of water.  By way of example (and only as example), Water Service User who lives within the District & who used 1101.12 cubic feet of water one particular month will be billed $38.00

d.   Billing Unit; Billing Time:

The measuring time frame to be used to calculate the customer’s water usage shall be one calendar month.  Unless arrangements are made with the District in advance, each customer shall be billed monthly.  If desired by a particular customer and approved by the District, the billing time can be for a longer period, such as quarterly or even annually.  In those instances, the billing unit (one month) will be the same and the District may require that payment be made in advance with the District using the Water Service Unit’s past history of usage and the customer’s planned usage to arrive at an estimation as to the amount of the customer’s bill.  At the end of the billing time used as described above, the District shall determine the Water Service Unit’s actual usage. Any customer overpayment in the amount of three months or less shall remain on the account as a credit and be used for future payments.  Should the funds the district received not fully pay for the amount of water that the customer used during the billing time, the District shall bill the customer who shall immediately pay the deficiency.  At any time that the District projects that the customer’s usage will exceed the estimated amount, the District may immediately terminate the billing time approach and revert to a month-to-month billing.  Any excess amount of the customer’s funds, greater than three months payments, that the District has on account, after satisfying the customer’s current bill with the District, shall be refunded to the customer.
