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.

Any bill which has not been paid within twenty-five (25)
days from the date rendered is subject to the
late-payment penalty authorized by Company's tariffs.
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

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

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:

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.

Area shall be responsible for
paying the actual costs incurred by Company (including,

details will be set forth in the specifications and cost
estimates. Any such over sizing shall be done at
Company's expense and not included in the calculations
of the Relocation Assessment.
2. Company shall divide the actual cost of
relocating its facilities by the number of
acres in the Improvement Area to determine the "gross
per acre Relocation Assessment". Each customer shall be
responsible for its pro rata share of the Relocation
Assessment determined by multiplying the gross per acre
Relocation Assessment by the number of acres in the
parcel seeking service.
3. A charge of Y4 of one percent per month shall
accrue on the Relocation
Assessment commencing the first day of the sixth month
following the recording of the Recorded Notice with the
County Recorder.

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;
