� -2- <br /> To comply with water industry standards, the City's water service classifications are proposed to <br /> be renamed. <br /> Old Classification New Classification <br /> Domestic Residential <br /> Non-Domestic Commercial <br /> Large User Industrial <br /> No changes to the City's standard water rates are included in these recommendations. <br /> Staff are plannin� to review water rates next year. <br /> A copy of the proposed amendments is attached. The following is a summary of them by section <br /> number: <br /> 1. Identifies the correct department that processes new water service applications. <br /> 2. Adds required State regulations. <br /> 3. No changes. <br /> 4. No changes. <br /> 5. Changes "domestic"to "residential" and clarifies existing text. <br /> 6. Changes "non-domestic"to "commercial". Revised to current State regulations. <br /> 7. This section was implemented in 1977. Revised since all required meters now <br /> have remote readers. Property owners who do not adequately protect their water <br /> meters may be charged for replacement costs. <br /> 8. Reserves the City's right to estimate water bills if need be. <br /> 9. Classifications renamed. <br /> 10. Classifications renamed and water industry standard text inserted. <br /> 11. For the past 18+ years the City has not been following this section as currently <br /> written. The section currently states that not for profit institutions can be <br /> classified for lower priced domestic (residential) water services. Instead, for 18+ <br /> years these institutions have been billed for lower priced domestic (residential) <br /> meter charges. There are 374 customers (203 of them being churches) that are <br /> billed for lower priced meter charges. The revenue loss associated with this <br /> practice is estimated to be negligible. Therefore, since the current practice has <br /> been followed for 18+years, this section has been revised to reflect that practice. <br />
