Landscape Irrigation Service Rates

Proposed effective for consumption on or about June 1, 2010

The landscape irrigation rate applies to all “landscape irrigation” accounts. These exclude irrigation meters using water as part of their business function (e.g. process water and nurseries) as well as when used for health and safety purposes (e.g. school athletic fields). New business service accounts will be required to install separate landscape irrigation meters. Existing accounts will be retrofitted where possible. Accounts not retrofitted will be prorated based on seasonal water use. The irrigation rate is an inverted multi-block rate structure that will apply per hundred gallons of use.

Monthly Service Availability and Volume Charge
The Monthly Service Availability Charge (minimum bill) for all irrigation water service furnished through meters of the following sizes together with the Monthly Volume Charge measured per 100 gallons for water usage in every instance of service for each month or fraction thereof shall be as follows:
