The collection of the surcharge shall start on March 1, 2021. The surcharge shall remain in effect until such time as the borrower bond is paid in full, it shall be collected at the same time as other charges of the system, and establish a surcharge account to segregate the income from other system income for book keeping purposes to be pledged to the State Conservancy District. The surcharge shall be reviewed from year to year and modified in order to provide the required 110% debt coverage.
(E) Any city utility user living outside the city limits will pay an additional user’s fee of $30 per month which will be billed with the monthly charges for water and sewer. This will be charged on each water hook-up and will be treated the same as the DM charge and will apply to all vacant structures or lots where city water distribution is available.
