IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement to become effective as of the day and year set forth above. EXHIBIT I SCLIWC - BOLTON POINT WATER SYSTEM 2015 WATER RATE SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2015 RATE STRUCTURE: The flat rate charge per 1,000 gallons shall be non-fluctuating and equal to four dollars and thirty five cents ($4.35). This rate is equal to three dollars and five cents ($3.25) per 100 cubic feet. The foregoing rate will be the rate charged for all regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2015. Actual or base consumption may occur prior to January 1, 2015. MINIMUM BASE CHARGES: Notwithstanding the foregoing rate structure, the following minimum base charges shall be applicable to the meter size indicated below, for regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2015. The table below shows the amount of water consumption that is permitted before the minimum base charge would be exceeded: BASE MINIMUM BASE METER SIZE CONSUMPTION CHARGE (INCHES) (GALLONS) (DOLLARS) 3/4 10,000 43.50 1 30,000 130.50 1-1/2 45,000 195.75 2 90,000 391.50 3 140,000 609.00 4 200,000 870.00 6 350,000 1,522.50 Multiple Housing and mobile home parks of over two 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 base 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 Commission billing would be $870.00 (20 units times $43.50) rather than $435.00 (100,000 gallons at $4.35/1000 gallons)) An annual charge for each fire protection main serving a fire suppression system will be billed along with the first quarterly water bill of the calendar year. The annual charge for this service shall be $20.00 per diameter inch of the pipe supplying the fire suppression system. The pipe supplying the fire suppression system is the pipe needed to supply the fire suppression system, installed downstream of the system control valve. The water application fee shall be $240.00 for each new service for which application is made after January 1, 2015, plus the cost of a meter, tap, accessory materials and installation costs in a location approved by the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission.
