EXHIBIT I
SCLIWC - BOLTON POINT WATER SYSTEM
2016 WATER RATE SCHEDULE
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2016
RATE STRUCTURE:
The flat rate charge per 1,000 gallons shall be non-fluctuating and equal to four dollars and forty four
cents ($4.44). This rate is equal to three dollars and thirty two cents ($3.32) per 100 cubic feet. The
foregoing rate will be the rate charged for all regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2016. Actual
or base consumption may occur prior to January 1, 2016.
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, 2016. 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 44.40
1 30,000 133.20
1-1/2 45,000 199.80
2 90,000 399.60
3 140,000 621.60
4 200,000 888.00
≥6 350,000 1,554.00
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 $888.00 (20 units times $44.40)
rather than $444.00 (100,000 gallons at $4.44/1000 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.
