MH-5-3506 - ESTABLISHMENT OF ALLOCATION.

(a)

The General Manager shall classify each and calculate each customer's allocation. Each customer shall be notified of the General Manager's determination by mail deposited in the United States Postal Service.

(b)

Establishment allocations with no customer use history:

(1)

Residential. All residential customers with no water use history at the current property address shall be assigned an allocation for single or multiple-family residential accounts, as determined by the General Manager, on the basis of usage by similarly situated customers or on such basis as may be fair and equitable under all the circumstances.

(2)

Other Use Classifications. In order to determine water use allocations for a new nonresidential use, for a change in property use, or for a customer with no water use history at the current address, an application by the customer shall be submitted to the General Manager designating the intended use of the property, the square footage, and number of employees. An allocation will be determined by the General Manager after reviewing the above factors as well as comparing water use for similar types of construction and property uses, averaging the water use and applying the appropriate percentage reduction to this account.
