In the event customer fails to comply with any appropriate provisions of law or the agreement or, if, in the sole opinion of Company, water quality, water availability, force majeure (as that term is commonly understood), or acts or occurrences beyond the control of either party materially interfere with the present or prospective ability of Company to deliver water under this tariff, Company may interrupt, curtail, or halt said deliveries without prior notice to customer. The failure of Company to deliver water shall be excused so long as Company determines the conditions interfering with performance continue, or until the Arizona Corporation Commission orders otherwise.

STAND PIPE & FIRE HYDRANT SERVICE

(S-Rate)

 

Water shall not be used from fire stand pipes or fire hydrants for any purpose other than fire protection unless prior written consent is obtained from Company.

 

No unmetered service is permitted from Company stand pipes or fire hydrants, except (1) for emergency fire-fighting purposes by legally established public fire protection agencies having responsibility to provide general protection within Company's service area or (2) with prior written consent of Company where Company has determined metering is not feasible.

 

Where unmetered service for emergency fire-fighting purposes is permitted by this tariff,

Company shall be notified as soon as practical of the initiation of service. Company requires all nonemergency unmetered service to be scheduled in advance.

DEVELOPMENT FEE

 

Each customer desiring water service from Company for a structure, lot or parcel shall, in addition to any other rate or charge, pay a development fee pursuant to this Tariff.

 

A $2,000 Development Fee shall be assessed for each dwelling unit consisting of at least a separate entry, toilet, shower and/or bath, a sleeping area and cooking area with a sink (e.g., trailer space, multi-family dwelling, apartments, condominium, guest quarters, mother-in-law quarters, etc.) located within the main structure or in a separate structure.

 

The Development Fee for structures not primarily intended for habitation (e.g., an office building, shopping center store, restaurant, etc.) shall be subject to an upward adjustment based upon the relationship the customer's projected water usage has to the combined average system-wide water usage. For example, where projected water use is 18,000 gallons per month and average system is 6,000 gallons per month (18,000/6,000 or 3/1), the Development Fee would be $6,000.

 

The Development Fee shall be subject to the following provisions:

 

a.          The Development Fee may be assessed only once per structure, lot or parcel; provided, however, if, after the Development Fee is paid, Company determines: (i) additional dwelling units are located on the lot or parcel for which the development fee has not been paid or (ii) the use for structures not primarily intended for habitation the use has increased such that the current use on the lot or parcel would have resulted in a higher Development Fee than what has previously been paid for the lot or parcel, Company shall re-compute the Development Fee and assess the current customer the portion of the Development Fee not previously paid.

 

b.         Notwithstanding subparagraph (a), where a service is abandoned pursuant to Company's Termination/Abandonment Tariff, Company shall collect the difference between the current Development Fee and any development fee previously collected by Company.

 

c.         The Development Fee shall be placed in a separate account and Company shall account for all receipts and expenditure of development fees.

 

d.         The Development Fee may only be used to pay for capital items of backbone plant and shall not be used for expenses, maintenance or other operation purposes.

If a prior bill remains unpaid at the time of billing, a ten (10) day notice of intent to disconnect water service shall be included in the billing statement. Said notice shall notify the customer of 1) the amount owed, including late fees, current billing charges and any other applicable charges, 2) the date after which service may be terminated, and 3) a phone number or address where the customer may dispute the termination.

 

If payment is not made prior to the termination date, Company may, without further notice, terminate water service.

 

If a bill is not paid within ten (10) days after termination, Company may notify the customer in writing of its intent to completely remove the meter thirty (30) days from the date notice of removal is rendered and that such removal shall be deemed abandonment of the meter and withdrawal from membership in Company.

 

If the bill still remains unpaid, removal may be undertaken without further notice after the date set forth in the notice of removal. At such time, the customer will be deemed to have abandoned his service, to have withdrawn from membership in Company, and will be eligible for refund, after deducting the accrued unpaid balance on the account, of the meter and service connection fee and customer deposit held by Company on the customer's account.

 

Any service that has been voluntarily disconnected and remains inactive for a period of twelve consecutive months shall be deemed abandoned without further notice or action by Company.

 

The lot or parcel where a meter has been abandoned may only receive water service through reapplication and paying all applicable fees including, but not limited to, the applicable establishment fee, meter charge, service connection charge (provided the preexisting service connection is no longer usable), and current Development Fee. Any previously paid Development Fee shall be credited toward the current Development Fee.

RELOCATION ASSESSMENT

A.         Generally.

 

From time to time governmental entities are formed, or use existing powers, to make one or more public improvements, such as roads, in particular area(s) (an "Improvement Area") and pay for such public improvements by assessing the landowners within the Improvement Area all or most of the cost of the improvement(s). In order to facilitate the improvement, Company may be asked, or required, to relocate its facilities. This Tariff is designed to encourage those governmental entities to include the cost of relocating utilities in their assessment for the improvement, and thereby have the benefitted landowners pay for the relocation of Company's facilities. However, in instances where the governmental entity declines to pay for the relocation costs and recover them as part of its general assessment, this Tariff authorizes Company to collect the actual costs of relocating its facilities from those members residing within the Improvement Area. It is limited to those instances where a governmental entity has been created for the purpose of making public improvements to a particular area or an existing governmental entity has identified a specific area/landowners to be assessed with the costs of the improvement. This Tariff is designed to have the cost of relocating Company's facilities in connection with the improvement to be included in and paid by members within the same designated area otherwise being assessed for the improvement(s) that have caused Company to incur relocation costs.

 

B.         Procedure.

 

1.         Within sixty (60) days of receiving written notice of the requirement to relocate facilities to accommodate a public improvement (the "Initial Notice), Company shall provide the noticing entity with a copy of this Tariff and request the following information:

 

a.          The name of the governmental entity and a contact name and address for the project with the governmental entity (if not already provided in the Initial Notice to Company);

 

b.         A timetable for the project (if not already provided in the Initial Notice to Company); and

c.         To state whether the public improvement is designed to benefit a particular Improvement Area (that is a specific area where the landowners therein will be assessed with all or a portion of the costs of the improvement) and, if so:

(iii)       a listing of all landowners, and their mailing address, within the Improvement Area; and

(iv)       identification of those parcels/landowners who will be subject to assessment for the cost of improvement.

2.         Within sixty (60) days of determining the identity of the governmental entity involved in making the public improvements (or the time responding under 1 above), whichever is later, Company shall provide a written request that the governmental entity pay the cost of relocating

Company's facilities and include such cost as part of the cost of making the public improvement to be otherwise assessed. This written request shall include a copy of this Tariff and indicate that if Company is required to relocate facilities at its own costs, it will make the Relocation Assessment allowed under this Tariff. (Note, where appropriate items 1 and 2 may be combined in a single notice).

 

3.         Where the governmental entity agrees to pay the cost of relocation, the governmental entity's agreement to pay the costs of relocation shall be reduced to writing and a copy thereof, along with other pertinent records, shall be kept by Company until Company files its next general rate application.

 

4.         Within thirty (30) days of receiving an Approval to Construct from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, or its de1egee, Company shall provide the governmental entity a cost estimate for performing the required relocation. If the governmental entity has not agreed to pay the cost of the relocation, Company shall include the estimated gross per acre Relocation Assessment it will impose unless the governmental entity agrees to pay the cost of relocation.

 

5.         If the governmental entity has not agreed to pay the relocation costs, Company shall make reasonable efforts to provide written notice of this Tariff and the estimated gross per acre

Relocation Assessment to the landowners within the Improvement Area and bill the landowner for their pro rata share of the Relocation Assessment as calculated below based upon the estimated costs.

Company will be deemed to have made reasonable efforts to provide written notice if Company uses the list of landowners provided by the governmental entity or, if no list has been so provided, if Company uses the County Assessor records. Company my use County Assessor records purchased from third parties so long as the third party listing was updated within the last ten (10) months.

Leak Detection Program Tariff - BMP 4.1

 

PURPOSE

 

A program for Company to systematically evaluate its water distribution system to identify and repair leaks.

 

REQUIREMENTS

 

The requirements of this tariff are adopted pursuant to Order of the Arizona Corporation Commission and were adapted from the Arizona Department of Water Resources' Required Public Education Program and Best Management Practices in the Modified Non-Per Capita Conservation Program.

4.   Company shall implement a comprehensive leak detection and repair program to attain and maintain a less than 10 percent unaccounted for water loss in its system(s). The program must include auditing procedures, in-field leak detection and repair efforts. Company shall take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that its water system is operating at optimal efficiency.

 

5.   On a systematic basis, at least every two years (annually for smaller systems), Company shall inspect its water distribution system (to include hydrants, valves, tanks, pumps, etc. in the distribution system) to identify and repair leaks. Detection shall be followed by repair or in some cases replacement. Repair vs. replacement will depend upon site-specific leakage rates and costs.

 

6.   Leak Detection efforts should focus on the portion of the distribution system with the greatest expected problems, including:

a.   areas with a history of excessive leak and break rates;

b.   areas where leaks and breaks can result in the heaviest property damage;

c.   areas where system pressure is high;

d.   areas exposed to stray current and traffic vibration;

e.   areas near stream crossings; and,

f.    areas where loads on pipe may exceed design loads.

7.         Company shall keep accurate and detailed records concerning its leak detection and

repair/rehabilitation program and the associated costs. Records of repairs shall include: possible causes of the leak; estimated amount of water lost; and date of repair. These records shall be made available to the Commission upon request.

 

8.         Company shall maintain a complete set of updated distribution system maps.

 

9.         Company shall ensure that properly functioning (accurate) and appropriately sized meters are installed on all service and source connections. All meters shall be inspected pursuant to Company's Meter Repair and/or Replacement Tariff.

10.        Company shall conduct a water audit annually which includes the following steps to determine how efficient each water system is operating and where the losses might be.

a.          Use coordinated monthly source and service meter readings to calculate how much water enters and leaves the system during the 12 month review period.

b.         Track and estimate any unmetered authorized uses.

c.         Calculate the total amount of leakage using the following formula:

Unaccounted for water (%) = [(Production and/or purchased water minus metered use & estimated authorized un-metered use) / (Production and/or purchased water)] x 100

d.         Authorized un-metered uses may include firefighting, main flushing, process water for water treatment plants, etc. Water losses include all water that is not identified as authorized metered water use or authorized un-metered use.

e.          Determine possible reasons for leakage, including physical leaks and unauthorized uses.

f.          Analyze results to determine the improvements needed, such as, better accounting practices, leak surveyor replacing old distribution pipes.

 

8.         Company shall keep accurate and detailed records concerning its annual water audit results. These records shall be made available to the Commission upon request.
