<br />In Elk Rivers' case ,because the high summer water usage from lawn sprinkling causes large expenses,
<br />the rate structure is designed to pass on these expenses to the lawn sprinkling custo mers.
<br />2008 Minnesota legislative session, state law was inacted to require water utilities to utililize inclining
<br /> block rates by the year 2010 (verify date). The DNR highly encourages inclining
<br /> block rates .
