based on total City treatment cost, including a City line maintenance fee of $.12
per one thousand gallons (1,000) based on the customer's water usage.
(c) User Charge- Each single-family residential customer shall be assessed a monthly
rate of $2.12 based on one hundred percent (100%) of the customer's average
water consumption as computed for each cycle.

new address shall be the same as that at the former address until the next annual re-rating for that

chargeable water consumption of all single-family residences on the sewer system.

(a) Base Rate - The base rate shall be assessed in terms of connection equivalents,
which equivalent shall be determined as follows: the customer's previous twelve
