BULK WATER FEES:

A commodity charge of $5.21 per 1,000 gallons of water shall apply to bulk water sales provided by tanker truck or fire hydrant plus an additional surcharge of $10.70 per 1,000 gallons of water in order to offset debt service and capital replacement and customer service costs.  An additional surcharge of $3.61 per 1,000 gallons of water will be added to water picked up at the public works yard in order to offset capital replacement costs of the delivery system at the yard.

 

A $750 meter deposit shall apply to metered fire hydrant connections. The deposit will be returned when the meter is returned undamaged. This deposit may be waived upon the recommendation of the Public Works Superintendent.

 

If a bulk water customer purchases a meter from the City for measuring the quantity of water purchased, it shall be exempt from the monthly meter service charge. It is the responsibility of the bulk water customer to maintain that meter so the City can accurately determine the amount of water being purchased. In the event the meter fails, it is the bulk water customer's responsibility, at its expense, to repair it or purchase a replacement meter from the City. The City may at any time test the meter for accuracy.

            PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HOMER, ALASKA, this _____ day of December, 2007.
