Retail Consumption Charges
 

*The Block 1 rates are charged for use up to and including 125% of the average winter consumption (AWC). Water is billed at Block 2 rates for all water used in excess of 125%. Each billing period stands on its own with respect to Block 2 charges.

Average Winter Consumption (AWC) defined:

The AWC is updated each year effective with May billings.  For calculation of water bills, each customer will be given the benefit of whichever AWC is HIGHER:  1) The individual customer's own ACTUAL AWC based on the most immediate preceding January - April billing periods; or 2) The DEFAULT AWC as defined below.

For Single-Family customers, the DEFAULT AWC is calculated based on the 5-year average of all Single-Family individual customer AWCs, regardless of meter size.

For all NON-Single-Family customers (Multi-Family and Commercial accounts), the DEFAULT AWC is calculated based on the 5-year average of individual customer AWCs for all customers with the same meter size and customer class.
