following water rates shall apply to all water users (residential, commercial, and
industrial), with the exception of contract water users, and with the exception that
treated water service outside the corporate limits shall be two times the rate charged
inside the corporate limits.
The minimum monthly bill for all metered treated water service shall be as shown
below, for which amount each customer will be allowed 200 cubic feet of water.

For larger consumption, the rate shall be $1.01 per 100 cubic feet of water for
residential customers. Specific -use meters installed for lawn sprinklers, swimming
pools, and other non - domestic uses will be considered as "residential" for the purpose
of billing. Residential rates will apply to all water measured through these special -use
meters even though they may be located at a commercial or industrial site. For other
than residential customers, including fire hydrant meters, the rate shall be as follows:
The next 800 cubic feet of water at $1.01 per hundred;
The next 3,000 cubic feet of water at $0.86 per hundred;
The next 2,800 cubic feet of water at $0.80 per hundred;
The next 60,000 cubic feet of water at $0.75 per hundred;
In excess of 66,800 cubic feet of water at $0.73 per hundred.
During the first and last billing cycle in which an account is active, the minimum
monthly bill shown above shall be prorated for the number of days the account is active;
the pro -rate daily charge shall be based on a 30 -day month.
The amount charged in the first and last billing cycle for water consumed, and
the prorated minimum bill, shall not exceed the charges for the same amount of water in
a full billing cycle.
The current rate structure for raw water retail customers inside the corporate city
limits is as follows:
Minimum bill, including 200 cubic feet of water: $5.40 per month
Volume charge per 100 cubic feet for larger consumption: $0.2141
Retail treated and raw water customers outside the corporate city limits will pay
two times the above rates."
The above rates shall be effective during the first full billing cycle after October 1,
1998, and thereafter.
The meters of raw water retail customers will be read once each quarter. Billing
cycles between meter readings will use estimated consumptions as a basis for the
billing and the number of consumptions will be adjusted quarterly when the meter
reading is taken.
Additional revenue is needed in the Public Utilities Department beginning on
October 1, 1998, therefore, this Ordinance is declared an emergency and shall be
effective on passage.
SECTION 2. It is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at
which this ordinance was passed was open to the public as required by law
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 15th day of September, 1998.
