in effect

Sec. 34-132. - Same-day meter turn-on fee. A customer requesting that the system initiate or reinstate water service on the same day the application for service is made shall be assessed a fee of thirty-four dollars ($34.00) for this service. A customer who qualifies for participation in the SAWS Uplift Assistance Program requesting that the system initiate or reinstate water service on the same day the application for service is made shall be assessed a fee of seventeen dollars ($17.00) for this service. The fee amount is effective January 1, 2024. The fee amount shall be adjusted on January 1 of each year thereafter by the percentage difference (greater than zero (0)) between the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as it is calculated by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics at the end of the month of July prior to the next year and as it was calculated at the end of the month of July one (1) year earlier, and subsequently rounded to the nearest dollar. SAWS will periodically perform a cost of service analysis to ensure that the fee charged does not exceed the cost of providing the services. (Ord. No. 2017-12-07-0928, § 3(Att. II), 12-7-17; Res.
