Rate Schedule Information
Most Resort Water Company customers are billed under the following flat rate schedule. However, some customers may
be billed under other specific tariffs. Please call the Resort Water Company if there are any questions about the rate used
for your billing.
General Flat Rate Service
Resort Water Company bills each current customer each month. The bill is a flat rate of $44.80 per Equivalent
Residential Unit (ERU).
Miscellaneous Charges
Resort Water Company believes that the cost of providing special services should be borne by those customers
responsible for incurring the costs. The handling of returned checks, accounts that are disconnected for non-payment and
after hour service are some examples of special services. These miscellaneous charges are as follows:
• Returned checks will be assessed a $15.00 handling fee.
• Reconnection of service due to termination for non-payment if the service is interrupted for less than 30 days is
$20.00 during normal business hours and $60.00 if after hours.
• Reconnection of service due to any reason if the service is interrupted for greater than 30 days can be
calculated based on the tariff charged for four months during normal business hours and can be calculated
based on the tariff charged for four months plus $60.00 if after business hours.
• Field collection trip charge is $15.00
In most cases, these fees must be paid prior to service being granted or restored.
Deposits/Payment Guarantees
The IPUC service rules allow utilities to ask for deposits or payment guarantees under specific conditions. At this time,
Resort Water Company does not require deposits or payment guarantees.

Resort Water will postpone termination of service for thirty (30) days. A written certificate is required from a licensed
physician or public health official stating the name of the person who is ill and the name, title, and signature of the person
