LOCAL LAW NO. 6 OF THE YEAR 2003
A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND LOCAL LAW NO. 2 FOR THE YEAR 1976, BY ADOPTING A
NEW WATER RATE SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2004 FOR WATER RATES,
CHARGES, AND OTHER FEES CHARGEABLE TO CONSUMERS OF WATER IN THE TOWN
OF ITHACA.
Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca as follows:
Section 1. Local Law No. 2 for the year 1976, adopted August 23, 1976, and subsequently
amended, is further amended by deleting (except as set forth below) the water rate schedule
previously adopted and inserting the water rate schedule set forth in this local law.
Section 2. The provisions relating to water application fees, service taps, meters, inspections,
and all other provisions contained in local law No. 2, 1976, as amended, including such provisions
as are contained in the existing water rate schedule not expressly amended by this local law or in the
annexed water rate schedule, remain in full force and effect and are not deleted by this local law.
Section 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of the annexed water rate schedule, if there are
existing contracts between a bulk user and the Town pursuant to which the Town, for other
considerations, agreed to charge a water rate different than that required by the annexed schedule,
the Town may continue to honor such contracts at the rates therein prescribed or at such other rates
as may be agreed to between the Town of Ithaca and the other contract parry. Nothing in this section
shall preclude the Town if it deems it advisable, from charging said bulk user the rates that would
otherwise be required by this local law.
Section 4. In the event that any portion of this local law is declared invalid by a final order
of a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining portions shall not be affected by
such declaration of invalidity.
Section 5. This local law shall take effect five days after its adoption or upon its filing with
the Secretary of State of the State of New York except that the water rate schedule annexed hereto
shall become effective with respect to all bills issued on or after January 1, 2004.

Effective January 1, 2004
The rate charged for water consumption shall be $3.20 per 1,000 gallons. This rate is equal
to $2.40 per 100 cubic feet. The foregoing rate will be the rate charged for all regular quarterly bills
sent after January 1, 2004. Actual or base consumption may occur prior to January 1, 2004.
Notwithstanding the foregoing rates the following minimum base charges shall be applicable
to the meter size indicated below for regular quarterly bills issued on and after January 1, 2004. The
table below also shows the amount of water consumption that is permitted before the minimum base

Multiple Housing and mobile home parks of over 2 dwelling units, using a master meter, will be
computed as follows: The quarterly master meter reading will be divided by the number of dwelling
units and the water charge will be figured on this number as if the unit was individually metered.
The water charge will then be multiplied by the number of units on the master meter and this will be
the billing rendered. If the calculation of the water consumed per dwelling unit is less than the

allowable consumption for a three-quarter inch meter, then the billing will be calculated by
multiplying the number of units on the master meter times the minimum charge for a three-quarter
inch meter (e.g., if there were 20 dwelling units on the master meter, and total water consumption
shown by the master meter was 100,000 gallons, the billing would be $640.00 (20 units times
$32.00) rather than $320.00 (100,000 gallons times $3.20/1,000 gallons)).
