Andy,

Let’s verify meter sizes and once done give to Ginger to correct account information. If the monthly fee drops then that is fine. We will run that for a year and adjust our budget accordingly. We want to charge fair share for the water and not have any account over or under charged. Thanks.

Regards,

Subject: Rate Charges

Folks, Ginger, Adam, Rich and I have been working on account cleanup for a long time, and we’ve run across these 40 or so accounts have a problem. The reason we bring it up is because changing them will have a negative impact on revenue, somewhere around -$145,828.

The problem is: each account on this list is multi-unit building, and each is being charged on a Service Code in Caselle called ‘Water - Multi Family All – IC’ (service code number 115). What this code is doing is billing the customer by simply multiplying the number of units in the building by the base rate for a ¾ meter, which is $13.82. However, our rate resolution does not allow for this. For starters, there is no rate for a 4” meter and there is one on the list; but as a further example: if you look at 180 Fenton Ave, a 3” meter 16954421, last month they were charged $442.24 for water base. Their base charge will drop to $161.32. Before we go any further I think we should discuss what we are doing and make sure we all understand?

Thanks for listening!

Respectfully,

Andy Peters
