Local Water Supply Plan Template —March 2016 <br />* Rate Structures components that may promote water conservation: <br />• Monthly billing: is encouraged to help people see their water usage so they can consider changing <br />behavior. <br />• Increasing block rates (also known as a tiered residential rate structure): Typically, these have at least <br />three tiers: should have at least three tiers. <br />o The first tier is for the winter average water use. <br />o The second tier is the year-round average use, which is lower than typical summer use. This rate <br />should be set to cover the full cost of service. <br />o The third tier should be above the average annual use and should be priced high enough to <br />encourage conservation, as should any higher tiers. For this to be effective, the difference in <br />block rates should be significant. <br />• Seasonal rate: higher rates in summer to reduce peak demands <br />• Time of Use rates: lower rates for off peak water use <br />• Bill water use in gallons: this allows customers to compare their use to average rates <br />• Individualized goal rates: typically used for industry, business or other large water users to promote <br />water conservation if they keep within agreed upon goals. Excess Use rates: if water use goes above an <br />agreed upon amount this higher rate is charged <br />• Drought surcharge: an extra fee is charged for guaranteed water use during drought <br />• Use water bill to provide comparisons: simple graphics comparing individual use over time or compare <br />individual use to others. <br />• Service charge or base fee that does not include a water volume — a base charge or fee to cover universal <br />city expenses that are not customer dependent and/or to provide minimal water at a lower rate (e.g., an <br />amount less than the average residential per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years) <br />• Emergency rates -A community may have a separate conservation rate that only goes into effect when <br />the community or governor declares a drought emergency. These higher rates can help to protect the city <br />budgets during times of significantly less water usage. <br />**Conservation Neutral** <br />• Uniform rate: rate per unit used is the same regardless of the volume used <br />• Odd/even day watering —This approach reduces peak demand on a daily basis for system operation, but <br />it does not reduce overall water use. <br />*** Non -Conserving *** <br />• Service charge or base fee with water volume: an amount of water larger than the average residential <br />per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years <br />• Declining block rate: the rate per unit used decreases as water use increases. <br />• Flat rate: one fee regardless of how much water is used (usually unmetered). <br />Provide justification for any conservation neutral pr non -conserving rate structures. If intending to adapt <br />a conservation rate -structure, include the timefrarin_g to dp so: <br />34 <br />68 <br />
