Section 2. Placement of a given customer account into a pump zone for billing purposes shall be
based upon that customer's relationship to the 6170 Pressure Zone. The 6170 Pressure Zone is
deemed to be Pump Zone 1 and all customers located within that pressure zone and other areas
where water can be supplied from 6170 Pressure Zone solely without pumping shall also be
considered part of Pump Zone 1.
For all other areas, a given customer shall be re-classified to the next highest pump zone for each
time the water must be pumped from the 6170 Pressure Zone to supply that customer.
Ordinance 2015-01
Section 3. It is the District's goal that all customers are equipped with a water meter and billed
volumetrically based upon their usage. It is the District's intent to have water meters installed on all
customers' water services. However, circumstances may exist whereby a customer refuses to
undertake the necessary actions or improvements to allow that customer to be billed on a volumetric
basis.
In those cases, the customer shall be subject to a "non -conforming bulk rate" and shall be charged a
monthly bill for service based on the base charge, commodity charge and pump zone charge
corresponding to that customer's location and class (residential or commercial). For determining the
commodity charge and pump zone charge the customer shall be charged a volume equal to the 90th
percentile of usage for all customers with the same customer class and meter size. This
determination of the 90th percentile shall occur annually in January and shall be based upon the
metered usage data for the prior calendar year.
Section 4. If no protest is made pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 16078, then the terms of
this ordinance shall be effective thirty days after adoption by the board of directors of the District.
Section 5. The Clerk of the District shall immediately cause a copy of this ordinance to be
published in a newspaper of general circulation and posted in three places within the District.
Section 6. The provisions of other Ordinances shall remain in effect to the extent that they do not
conflict with this ordinance.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District at a
meeting duly called and held within the District on the 191h day of August, 2015 by the following roll
call vote:
