GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS REGARDING WATER, REUSE WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE. (9) Billing Periods. Bills for water service will be rendered monthly, shall become due when rendered and shall be considered as received by Customer when delivered or mailed to the water service address or some other place mutually agreed upon. Non-receipt of bills by Customer shall not release or diminish the obligation of Customer with respect to payment thereof. Monthly bills, and Utility's tiered rate system structure, will be based on a 30-day billing cycle. However, both long and short billing periods are permitted by Utility. The Authority will bill Customers for the water, wastewater, and reclaimed water services consumed in the month on a per gallon basis in accordance with the rates, fees, and charges included within this policy. The Authority and will be adjusted as to volume allowances within Utility's tiered rate system structure based on the ratio of actual number of days in a given billing cycle to the base 30-day period. The adjustment ratio is 1 Resolution No. 2023/2024-06 then applied to the tier 1 value allowance(6 thousand gallons,or 6 KGAL)to determine the adjusted volume allowance. For an example of a long period adjustment, assume the actual billing period is 45 days; the tier 1 usage volume allowance is 9 KGAL [(45/30) x 6 = 9]. The short period adjustment is calculated in the same manner; assume the actual billing period is 15 days; the tier 1 usage volume allowance is 3 KGAL [(15/30) x 6 =3]. Subsequent tiers (i.e., tiers 2, 3 and 4) will also be adjusted using a corresponding volume allowance adjustment in relationship to the base 30- day billing cycle. Utility's Customer Service Department will develop and make available to Customer's detailed examples of the mathematical application of this period adjustment factor in practice. SECTION 4.
