NOTES TO RATES

 

  • Rates are monthly. ​​ Water bills are issued every two months.

  • Water meters are read every other month, so usage over included amounts is based on two months (1,200 ft3).

  • A “billing cycle” is two months. ​​ Billing cycles start when bills are generated and end when the next cycle’s bills are generated.

  • The property owner is responsible for all water that passes through the service meter.

 

NOTE TO FEES

 

  • Late fees are calculated at the end of each billing cycle.

  • Payments are deemed received based on the office time stamp.  ​​​​ 

  • Payments are late when received after 3:00 PM on the due date.

 

 

NOTES TO CHARGES

 

  • ERU = Equivalent Residential Unit. ​​ 

  • Meter/Service Removal is the only way to cease water bills. ​​ It involves complete removal of the connection. ​​ Should water service be desired for the property at some time in the future, it will be treated like a new service.

  • “District Costs” means all costs to the District incurred accomplishing the activity.

  • Applications for Determination of Water Adequacy are valid for one year.

 

 NOTES TO DEPOSITS
