The monthly rates to be charged for water furnished by plant and system for consumption after July 1, 2026 shall be and are as follows: $6.03 per thousand gallons Base Charge fee at $17.45 per month for each user on a single meter. Flat Meter Charge Fee of $14.85 per month for each additional user on a single meter on a multiple user system. A 75% Surcharge will be added for service outside city limits on Water Rates, Base Charge, and Flat Meter Charge. Bulk water purchased from the bulk water delivery system at the water plant or delivered through a fire hydrant or other connection: $0.01 per gallon with a $10.00 minimum purchase. Section 2. Any single User whose total combined water consumption across all metered connections exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Waterworks System's total pumping, as measured leaving the water treatment facility, for any given month shall be classified as a "Large-User." Aggregation of Usage: For the purposes of this Section, "user" shall be defined by the entity or person served, rather than by individual account or meter. Usage from all meters serving the same user, property, or contiguous industrial/commercial complex shall be aggregated to determine total consumption. Mandatory Agreement: All Large-Users are required to enter into a formal Large-User Agreement with the Board of Trustees to establish specific service terms, demand management, and infrastructure impact fees. Non-Compliance Surcharge: In the event a user exceeds the ten percent (10%) threshold without a fully executed Large-User Agreement in place, a surcharge of twenty percent (20%) shall be applied to the total water consumption charges for that billing period. This surcharge shall continue monthly until such time as an agreement is executed. This surcharge will be in addition to any penalties from City of Perry Ordinance Chapter 91, if applicable. Section 3. All bills shall be rendered at the net rate. If not paid within 20 days from the billing date a penalty of 10% of the amount due shall be added to the bill. Section 4. The Iowa sales or service tax, or any other tax imposed by upon the distribution or sale of water may be added to the foregoing rates. Section 5. The foregoing rates do not contain any charges for sewer usage and treatment, solid waste collection, or storm water collection, that are now or may be added to the utility bill hereafter by the City Council of the City of Perry. Section 6. All new residential accounts will require a deposit of $120.00 each. All new commercial accounts will require a deposit of $240.00. Deposits for accounts with unconventional service requirements or unique usage profiles will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Said deposit will be held as collateral against payment of monthly water bills. Deposits will be credited toward the final water bill upon termination of service or credited to the account after 12 consecutive months of on time full payments of water bills in property owners name. Deposits for an account in a tenant's name will be credited to the account when the account is closed. Deposits may be waived for customers whose accounts are in good standing and set up for automatic payment through ACH using a checking account. Section 7. The said Board of Trustees may from time to time, by resolution, change and readjust the foregoing rates to be charged for the water used, where it is deemed advisable in the judgment of said Board. Section 8. Nothing contained herein shall prevent said Board of Trustees from making special contract(s) with anyone provided that such contracts do not discriminate unfairly against anyone. Section 9. All resolutions and motions or parts thereof, in conflict herewith be and the same are hereby repealed to the extent only of such conflict. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in order to save the expense of giving written notice of the new rates to all users, the Secretary be directed to publish forthwith in the Perry Chief a notice setting forth the new rates.
