35.1Smaller satellite water systems (systems with 14 or less customers) are billed a flat rate. A consumption charge is not applied to the bills on these systems unless the supply well begins pumping over 5,000 gallons per day. Unlike the larger systems, a monthly charge is applied to vacant lots. Once the lot is developed and the customer is using water, the monthly charge increases.


Monthly Charge


A monthly charge is applied to vacant lots because each system must be a financially self supporting system. When a system is new, it may not have any developed lots, but the system still has expenses from routine monthly inspections, power bills, and water quality testing. For this reason, new systems must have a source of revenue, even when no or very little water is being consumed.
