ORDINANCE NO. 454
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 360
OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
ESTABLISHING RESIDENTIAL METERED WATER RATES
The Board of Directors of South Tahoe Public Utility District makes the following
findings:
1. Notice of Hearing of this proposed Ordinance was duly given, authorized, Posted,
and published as required by law and specifically, that said Notice fixing the time and place of
hearing on said Ordinance was duly given, posted, and published as required by Government
Code of California.
2. Pursuant to said Notice of Hearing, a hearing by the Board of Directors of South
Tahoe Public Utility District on this proposed ordinance was held at a regular Board meeting
of said Board of Directors on May 18, 1995 at the place specified in said Notice of Hearing.
3. The current water rate schedule provides for an annual flat rate water service
charge for all single family dwellings in the District's service area. Said single rate may result
in some degree of inequity for customers who own a small home with little or no landscaping,
or out-of-town customers who seldom use their second home.
4. The District's published minimum metered water service rate (3/4") is established
for commercial connections.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED by the SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY
DISTRICT as follows:
SECTION I
The District hereby establishes a minimum residential metered rate (3/4") equal to the
current 3/4" commercial metered rate; consumption shall be charged at the same rate charged
all metered customers of the District.
A. The rate shall apply to existing residential customers opting to convert to the
metered residential rate and to new owners of residential development wishing to establish a
metered residential rate pursuant to subsection 1.C. herein.
