§ 34-134. Irrigation system inspection compliance fees.

Failure to comply with the annual inspection requirements contained in subsection 34-273(3) shall result in the assessment of the following additional charges on the account associated with the irrigation system:

(a)

Annual enforcement fee in the amount of one hundred fifty-seven dollars and forty-two cents ($157.42); this fee shall be assessed on an annual basis until the requirements of subsection 34-273(3) have been met; and

(b)

Additional volumetric rate of $0.2019 per one hundred (100) gallons on all irrigation consumption on a monthly basis; this additional rate shall continue to be assessed until the requirements of subsection 34-273(3) have been met.

(c)

The fee amounts are effective January 1, 2019. The fee amounts shall be adjusted on January 1 of each year thereafter by the percentage difference (greater than zero (0)) between the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as it is calculated by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics at the end of the month of July prior to the next year and as it was calculated at the end of the month of July one year earlier. SAWS will periodically perform a cost of service analysis to ensure that the fees charged do not exceed the cost of providing the services.
