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

practice.
