Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Tom Sagstetter—Conservation and Key Accounts <br /> John Dietz—Chair Manager <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> February 9th, 2016 2.6 <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Revised Elk River Municipal Utilities Water-General Tariff <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Staff recently discovered a typo on the Elk River Municipal Utilities Water-General tariff sheet. <br /> The Commercial Irrigation Permanently Installed basic monthly charge and the Commercial <br /> Irrigation Seasonally Installed monthly charge had been inadvertently transposed. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> During the review of customer account bills, there was an inconsistency between what the water <br /> tariff outlines and the way the monthly bills were calculated. Upon review of the irrigation only <br /> accounts and the current tariff sheet, it was determined that the rates that were being applied to <br /> the customer accounts were correct and that the tariff sheet was incorrect due to the two <br /> transposed amounts. As the correct rates have been billed, there will be no effect on customers <br /> past or moving forward as a result of this correction to the proposed ERMU Water-General <br /> Tariff Sheet. <br /> In the discussion of how the rates are billed, staff determined that customers could be confused <br /> by the listing of the tier one rate listed as an applicable cost for water use under the irrigation <br /> only tariff. The irrigation only customers will not have winter volumes to calculate the tier one <br /> volume to apply the tier one rate. Tier one rates are not applicable to irrigation only customers <br /> because they will not have any winter use on that account. Staff has made further clarification of <br /> this on the proposed ERMU Water-General Tariff Sheet. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Approve the revised Elk River Municipal Utilities Water-General Tariff Sheet which reflects <br /> current practice and is consistent with Commission intent at the time of the 2016 budget <br /> approval. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • Proposed Elk River Municipal Utilities Water-General Tariff Sheet <br /> [POWERED O1' <br /> Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P OWER ED T O S ERV E <br /> 64 <br />
