There are two components to your water bill: a bi-monthly Customer Charge based on the size of the meter as shown below and the Volume Charge for consumption determined by the meter reading. The Customer Charge will only change if the meter size is increased or decreased. The Volume Charge is applied to each 100 cubic feet (1 CCF) of water used.* Meter Size ....................................Customer Charge 3/4” and smaller .............................$21.88 1” ..................................................$27.97 1-1/4” – 1-1/2” ...............................$47.84(or multiple meters of equivalent capacity) 2” ...................................................$74.23 3” ...................................................$144.82 4” ...................................................$270.18 6” ...................................................$451.048” ...................................................$589.58 10” .................................................$840.19 *(100 cubic feet = approximately 748 gallons) Volume Charges are seasonal. One rate is charged during the summer season and one during the winter season. The summer season is May 1 through September 30. The rates are: Winter Summer $1.5208 per CCF $1.5208 for 1st 3 CCF $1.9254 above 3 CCFFor example: If there is a 3/4” meter and the billing states the consumption is 18 CCF, the usage during the last two month billing period was 1,800 cubic feet. The bill would include the customer charge for a 3/4” meter plus the volume charge per 100 cubic feet. The billing would be calculated as follows: Winter Customer charge = $21.88 18 CCF @ $1.5208 = $27.37Total = $49.25 Summer Customer charge = $21.88 3 CCF @ $1.5208 = $ 4.56 15 CCF @ $1.9254 = $28.88Total = $55.32 (These total charges do not include taxes, state fees, or charges for any other types of service.) When the billing period encompasses both seasonal periods, the water billing will be prorated. Bills will be prorated twice each year. If there are any questions concerning the billing, we will be happy to discuss this process with you. Miscellaneous Charges SUEZ 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, cross connection control violations and after-hour or weekend service are some examples of special services. These miscellaneous charges are as follows: • Returned checks: $20.00• Reconnection for non-payment or cross connection control: Regular hours (8:00 am to 4:30 pm) $20.00 After hours (4:31 pm to 6:30 pm) $30.00 • New service connections: Regular hours No Charge After hours $25.00 * Reconnections will not occur M-F 6:31 pm to 7:59 am, and on weekends or observed holidays between 4:31 pm and 7:59 am.

Winters can be harsh on household plumbing and rough on your wallet should damage occur. Now is the time to protect your pipes from freezing temperatures. Follow these tips to help reduce your risk of costly repairs. Your Responsibilities Homeowners are responsible for protecting and repairing any damage to the water service line leading from the water meter to their home and all pipes inside their property line. Start Outside Begin outdoors by disconnecting and draining garden hoses and hose bibs, closing any hose bib shutoff valves and covering the bibs. Next, close all outside vents, crawl spaces and doors so cold air doesn’t seep inside. Fix broken windows and seal cracks in walls and foundations. Insulate, Insulate, Insulate Wrap water lines in commercial insulation. For extra protection, wrap pipes subject to cold or freezing in heat tape before insulating. Locate the Shutoff Valves Locate and tag the main water shutoff valve for your home. Make sure everyone in the house knows its location and how to operate it during an emergency. Check the Heat If you are going away for several days, keep a minimum amount of heat on in the house. This will help protect the pipes if the temperature drops. If you plan to turn the heat off, drain all the water from the pipes, toilets and water heater, and turn off the power source to the water heater. More Tips for Cold Weather If frozen pipes have been a problem in the past, open the cabinet doors under sinks along outside walls to allow warm air to circulate. You can also keep a trickle of water running from the highest faucet in your home. You will be billed for the water used, but this action may help prevent more costly plumbing repairs that result from broken pipes. THAWING FROZEN PIPES Act Quickly If your pipes freeze, it’s important to clear blockages as soon as possible to minimize damage. In some instances, it may be best to call a licensed plumber. Turn Off the Water If a water pipe freezes, turn off the water at the main shutoff valve for your home. Open a nearby faucet so the pipe can drain as it thaws. Be Careful Do not use electrical appliances in areas of standing water. Never use hot water or a blowtorch on a frozen pipe. Thaw pipes by applying hot air from a hair dryer or electric heater, or by using a heating pad. Do not turn the water back on until you are sure there are no leaks.

VEO-W-22-02 IPUC DR 15 Attachment 2 Page 8 of 10 General Metered Service Veolia bills customers every two (2) months. There are two components to your water bill: a bi-monthly Customer Charge based on the size of the meter as shown below and the Volume Charge for consumption determined by the meter reading. The Customer Charge will only change if the meter size is increased or decreased. The Volume Charge is applied to each 100 cubic feet (1 CCF) of water used.* Customer Charge Customer ChargeMeter Size .............as of 05/01/2021: as of 05/01/2022:3/4” and smaller .....$21.88 $22.961” ..........................$27.97 $29.351-1/4” – 1-1/2” .......$47.84 $50.21(or multiple meters of equivalent capacity)2” ...........................$74.23 $77.923” ...........................$144.82 $151.974” ...........................$270.18 $283.526” ...........................$451.04 $473.358” ...........................$589.58 $619.2510” .........................$840.19 $882.48 *(100 cubic feet = approximately 748 gallons) Volume Charges are seasonal. One rate is charged during the summer season and one during the winter season. The summer season is May 1 through September 30. The rates are: As of 05/01/2021: As of 05/01/2022: Winter Winter$1.5208 per CCF $1.5959 per CCF Summer Summer$1.5208 for 1st 3 CCF $1.5959 for 1st 3 CCF$1.9254 above 3 CCF $2.0204 above 3 CCF For example:If there is a 3/4” meter and the billing states the consumption is 18 CCF, the usage during the last two month billing period was 1,800 cubic feet. The bill would include the customer charge for a 3/4” meter plus the volume charge per 100 cubic feet. The billing would be calculated as follows: As of 05/01/2021: As of 05/01/2022: WinterCustomer charge = $21.88 = $22.9618 CCF @ $1.5208 = $27.37 @ $1.5959 = $28.73Total = $49.25 = $51.69 SummerCustomer charge = $21.88 = $22.963 CCF @ $1.5208 = $ 4.56 @ $1.5959 = $ 4.7915 CCF @ $1.9254 = $28.88 @ $2.0204 = $30.31Total = $55.32 = $58.06 (These total charges do not include taxes, state fees, or charges for any other types of service.) When the billing period encompasses both seasonal periods, the water billing will be prorated. Bills will be prorated twice each year. If there are any questions concerning the billing, we will be happy to discuss this process with you. Miscellaneous ChargesVeolia 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, cross connection control violations and after-hour or weekend service are some examples of special services. These miscellaneous charges are as follows: • Returned checks: $20.00• Reconnection for non-payment or cross connection control: Regular hours (8:00 am to 4:30 pm) $20.00 After hours (4:31 pm to 6:30 pm) $30.00• New service connections: Regular hours No Charge After hours $25.00* Reconnections will not occur M-F 6:31 pm to 7:59 am, and on weekends or observed holidays between 4:31 pm and 7:59 am. Where applicable, remote capable meter reconnection fees will be charged at a reduced 50% of reconnection fee amount above. In most cases, these fees must be paid prior to service being granted or restored. Payment Options There are several ways to pay your bill: • Try our Budget Billing Plan.
