Notes
1. Minimum Monthly Rates are based on continuous service—i.e. 12 months per year.
Disconnect transactions (voluntarily or involuntarily) do not relieve the customer from
the obligation to pay the base Monthly Minimum Charge each month during the
disconnect period.
2. The Commodity Charge for .75" and 1" Residential Meters is "Tiered" with
0-9,999 Gallons at $2.94/1,000 Gallons, 10,000 to 19,999 Gallons at $3.75/1,000
gallons and 20,000+ Gallons at $5.25/1,000 Gallons.
3.. In the event that water service is turned off voluntarily or involuntarily and the minimum
monthly base charge is not paid for an extended period, then the water service will be
"disconnected" and a new application and Connection/Capacity Charge will be required
at that time.
4. Many existing residential customers have 1" meters and are charged at the .75" meter
rate. All new residential meters will be .75" and charged at the .75" rate above. Existing
1" meters may be converted to .75" meters over time.
Conditions of Contract:
The monthly charge will be prorated whenever the customer has not been a customer for
the entire billing period.
Meter readings will be done at the end of each month, except when conditions make
meters inaccessible. In the event the Company cannot read a customer's meter for a billing
period, the customer will only be billed the minimum monthly charge as set forth above.
The Company aggregates the monthly usage for each month that no meter reading is
taken and bills for all the related usage to be included on the next bill issued after the meter
reading is taken.
