The City shall adopt and maintain appropriate rate charge schedules for water furnished and services rendered within and without the City. These schedules shall be reviewed and amended from time to time by the City Council as required. Rates charged may be fixed and classified according to the type of use and according to the amount of water used. In the event a particular service is not specified, a rate will be established upon request by the City Council.

Current rate and charge schedules of the City will be maintained on file by the City at the office of the City recorder and city water department, and will be available for viewing by the public.

Charges for installation of service pipe and meters from main to property line, various materials furnished by the City and such other services rendered shall likewise be set forth in the City’s current rate and charge schedules, and may be amended from time to time to meet the needs of the City and current economic conditions. In determining appropriate service and installation schedules, the City shall consider and include therein appropriate charge for city overhead.

In addition to current rate and charge schedules, the City Council may from time to time by appropriate resolution or ordinance, adopt appropriate connection, system development and general surcharges as the needs of the City may require after due public hearing thereupon; provided that all such charges and schedules of the City presently in effect as of the date of adoption of these revised rules and regulations, shall remain in full force and effect until further amended or revised by the City.
