Each customer shall pay for water service provided by the City based upon use of water as determined by meters provided for in Chapter 91. Each location, building, premises or connection shall be considered a separate and distinct customer whether owned or controlled by the same person or not.
(Code of Iowa, Sec. 384.84)
Beginning on July 1, 2012, each customer will pay water service charges in the amount of $45.54 per 1000 cubic feet of water attributable to the customer for the property served but in no event less than $10.00 per month (a 10% increase over the previous rate of $9.09). Beginning on July 1, 2013 and on July 1st of each succeeding year until June 30, 2030, the water service charge shall increase 3% and the minimum service charge will increase 3%. In any fiscal year in which revenues are expected to exceed expenditures by 25%, the Council, by resolution, shall suspend the rate increase, in whole or in part, so long as revenues exceed operations and maintenance expenditures by 25%. Beginning August 1, 2016, the water service charge will increase 5%. This increase is in addition to the automatic 3% increase effective July 1, 2016.
Water service shall be provided to any customer located outside the corporate limits of the City which the City has agreed to serve at the same rates provided in Section 92.02. No such customer, however, will be served unless the customer shall have signed a service contract agreeing to be bound by the ordinances, rules and regulations applying to water service established by the Council.
(Code of Iowa, Sec. 364.4 & 384.84)
