(1) Monthly Quantity Charges:
All potable water use, $0.877 per Hundred Cubic Feet (HCF). The Monthly Quantity Charge recovers the annual cost to operate the Water Utility, other than groundwater charges, treated water purchased from others for resale, and energy.

(2) Water & Energy Cost Adjustment (WECA) Charge:
A Water and Energy Cost Adjustment (WECA) Charge of $1.428 per HCF shall be added to all Monthly Quantity Charges.  The WECA Charge recovers the cost the City pays annually for groundwater charges, treated water purchased from others for resale, and energy.

The sum of (1) and (2) is $2.305 per HCF.

(3) Minimum Monthly Meter Rates:
The minimum monthly meter rate will entitle the customer to the quantity of water that monthly minimum charge will purchase at the Monthly Quantity Charge plus WECA Charge.

(a) Outside City Limits: Water service will not normally be provided to properties outside the City Limits except in special situations authorized by City Council.  All rates shall be at one and one‑half (1.5) times regular City rates.

(b) Agricultural Users: Customers who receive water from the City for agricultural purposes, and upon application and presenting evidence to the City that such water qualifies for the lower agricultural pump taxes levied by the Santa Clara Valley Water District, shall receive a credit of $0.26 per HCF for the quantities of water used.

Fire Service charges are standby charges only.  No charge will be made for water used to extinguish fires or for testing.  Any other usage of water through leakage or for general use shall result in the imposition of regular water service rates (RATE W-1) for a minimum of three (3) billing cycles or longer, until such time as illicit use of water through the fire service connection has ceased.  Continued water usage through a fire service is a violation of City's Rules and Regulations and may cause interruption of service.

Applicability ‑ Applicable to all service connections where a public cross connection control device has been required by the City or County Health Department.
