OF THE
TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
DETERMINING HIRSCHDALE WATER SERVICE ZONE
(RESULTING IN RATE INCREASE TO HIRSCHDALE CUSTOMERS)
WHEREAS, on November 6, 1995 a public hearing was held to receive comments from the public
concerning the Hirschdale water improvement area and a water rate increase for the Hirschdale
customers; and
WHEREAS, the Board by Resolution No. 9531 adopted November 6, 1995, set forth amended
terms and conditions of service for provision of water to the Hirschdale water improvement area;
and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is necessary to increase the financial resources of
the District by adjusting the rate charged to Hirschdale water customers;
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that an economic hardship would be placed on the
• Hirschdale water customers if the District were to adjust their rates to an amount that would pay
for the entire costs of constructing, maintaining and operating a new water treatment facility and
the water distribution facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is fair and reasonable that the rate for the
Hirschdale water customers be based on the need for the improved water quality, the cost of
providing improved water quality and the economic hardship that would be experienced by the
Hirschdale water customers if they were required to pay the entire costs associated with the
construction, maintenance and operation of the water treatment plant, as opposed to determining
the rates based on the same factors as other District customers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public
Utility District as follows:
1. That the Village at Hirschdale has been determined to have a rate
equivalent with District Water Zone 11, which results in a rate
increase to Hirschdale customers.
2. This ordinance shall be effective as of the date it was adopted by
the Board of Directors, but the rate adjustments resulting from this
ordinance shall become effective with the billing cycle following the
date the Hirschdale water treatment system is put to beneficial use.
3. 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
• 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 sixth day of November 1995 by the
following role call vote:
