IRRIGATION RATE

The irrigation rate is calculated by using the average water consumption, of the months December through February, as the reflective sewer use for winter. New residential accounts that do not have a history of consumption will be given an assumed winter average of 550 cubic feet until such time that history can be established.

The irrigation rate is applied to residential accounts only.
