CABARRUS COUNTY Post Office Box 707 CONCORD. NORTH CAROLINA 2802~ MEMORANDUM TO: MR. CHARLES D. ~cG~NNIS/COUNTY MANAGER FRObI: WALTER C. ODELL/COUNTY ENGINEE~[~'~% DATE: JANUARY 13,1987 SUBJECT: WATER SYSTEMS RULES AND REGULATIgNS REVISIONS The District and County Water Systems are currently making preparations to implement mandatory mimimum billing to those customers who have purchased connections to the water systems, but as of yet have not started actually consuming water. In so doing it has been called to our attention that the policy may not be totally clear on this issue. The item in question is addressed in item IIM of which a copy is attached and highlighted. I would recommend that thi~ item be revised to read as follows: M REFUSAL TO ACCEPT SERVICE Should any person pay for a connection to the system and after that connection is installed not use the service or at least pay the monthly minimum fee as established in the rate schedule, then the service will be made unusable, the outstanding bill subtracted from the customers security deposit, and any remaining deposit returned to the customer. If in the future if the person desires service, the connection fees and deposits in effect at that time would he required for the service to be reactivated. A second Item that needs to be addressed is concerning the sell of water thru master meters. This applies to areas such as mobile home parks, apartments, and other public utilities aa addressed in item Ilia and II! ! of the policy. The current policy calls for a-mimimum billing to be based on the number of units served times the normal residential minimum. This would require that each complex ur development be canvased or units counted each month to determine the minimum charge. In reality seldom would this minimum apply therefore. I recommend that a master meter rate be established at the standard residential rate with the minimum usage calculated based on the current non-residential minimums.
