Discount rates for recycled water utilized in certain operations.
San Antonio City Code § 34-1303
in effectSec. 34-1303. - Discount rates for recycled water utilized in certain operations.
(a) The purpose of this provision is to allow an alternate method of establishing a recycled water rate for customers who utilize recycled water in certain operations. To qualify for this method a customer/applicant must file with SAWS a report by a registered professional engineer detailing the increased volume of recycled water used in the customer/applicant's specific operation compared with the volume of potable water used in the customer/applicant's specific operation as a result of a lesser water quality of recycled water that will be utilized for the specific operation and including a proposed monthly flow recommendation. If the report is acceptable to SAWS, at its discretion, the rate for recycled water provided to the applicant/customer for operations will be discounted to reflect the increased usage so that the total cost to the customer/applicant will be the same as if the customer/applicant utilized an amount of recycled water equal to its prior use of non-recycled water in the customer/applicant to specific operation.
(b) The SAWS flat rate sewer program set forth in section 34-226.2 of this chapter may also be available to cooling tower customers. The flat rate sewer program provides for an alternate method of establishing a sewer charge for users. A flat rate sewer account may be established for any recycled water user upon determination by the SAWS customer service department that the costs to administer the account would not exceed the projected annual savings to the user.
