§ 32-70. Base facility charge consumption.

The base facility charge per billing unit shall be determined by dividing the annual base facility costs for all retail customers by the number of billing units on a utility's system. The number of billing units on a system of a utility using ten thousand (10,000) gallons as an ERC shall be computed as follows:

(1)

Multiply by five thousand (5,000) the number of customers with a maximum monthly usage of five thousand (5,000) gallons or less;

(2)

Add to the number determined in (1) the total maximum months usage of all customers with a maximum usage in excess of five thousand (5,000) gallons;

(3)

Divide the total of (1) and (2) by ten thousand (10,000) gallons to determine the monthly billing units;

(4)

Multiple the total monthly billing units by twelve (12) months to obtain the total billing units on that utility's system:

Base facility costs × retail %					;mb=10q;=	Base Facility
_____						Charge per 10,000 Gallons
12 × (	No. of customers in min. group × one-half of the number of gallons comprising an ERC	+	Maximum monthly usage of all customers with a maximum monthly usage in excess of 5,000 gal.	)

 

 

(5)

A customer's base facility charge equals the number of billing units assigned to that customer times the base facility charge per billing unit determined in accordance with this section. This amount is multiplied by three (3) for quarterly customers.
