Rate increase 2% for average users in 2010
JCSUD is adjusting the water rate effective for 2010. Customers will see the increase on the January bill. Water usage among residential customers in the previous year averaged about 6000 gallons monthly. Based on this usage, the rate increase represents $1 more on the average monthly bill. This 2% adjustment takes the average bill from $54 to $55.
The component parts of the adjustment include a $1 increase to the current $30 monthly minimum. Also, the rates in the block structure will basically remain the same but the block increments are adjusted as follows: the $4.00 for 0-10k gals goes to 0-6k gals; the $4.50 for 10–20k gals goes to 6-12k gals; $5.25 is the rate for 12-18k gals; and a rate of $5.75 applies for usage over 18k gallons.
Connection Fee for New Service to increase in 2010
JCSUD has to increase the total connection fee for new service effective in 2010. In the December meeting, the Board of Directors approved that applicants for new standard service will see an increase from $2250 to $2700.
Terry Kelley, the District’s general manager said, “The cost is still less than what it was in 2003 when the total connection fee was $2780. If the new service request required a county road bore, the amount was $3475, and even more for a state road bore. We have done well to structure a single, blended fee so that the cost is the same, regardless if a road bore is required. When the organization became a water district in 2004, state statutes limits this charge without first being approved by the TCEQ. JCSUD rolled back the system...
