Ma. Murphy,
Thank you. The calculations in the table was provided by treasury and | was seeking clarification. | arn nota water
expert, but | learned that typically, mast rates have two components.
1. Fined-cost recovery charge
This charge is based on the size of the water meter at the home or business. Most residential customers will
have a meter between 5/8°"s of an inch and 1 inch.
2. Consumption Charge
This charge Is based on the amount of water used. The rate for usage is determined by the distance and
elevation of the home or business from the water source.
NECK is used in many place for calculating rates; however, since Flint is currently not using this calculation, what are the
cost components that make up the $149 avg. monthly charge to the resident?
Best,
Harvey
