Sec. 27-32. Charges for water service.
   Charges for water utility service shall be made at monthly intervals and shall, to the extent possible, be consistent with the policy for charging for water in direct proportion to the cost of securing, developing and delivering water to the customers of the city water system.

Water charges will be computed through the summation of service charge, the monthly water use charge, the water supply fee surcharge, the conservation charge and summer surcharges where applicable.
   In addition to cost of service considerations, the differential charged to customers within unincorporated Pima County may be established and structured to advance critical policy considerations, including but not limited to supporting annexation and incorporation; and promoting environmental sustainability and water conservation, particularly in areas outside the city limits where the city has limited powers to promote those interests.
