  § 22-8.1. Purchased Water Pass Through Adjustment (PWPTA).  

Latest version.

  • (1)

    The PWPTA is a volumetric charge based on the cost of water purchased by the city from the City of Fort Lauderdale or any other wholesale supplier. The pass-through charge will be applied to all billable potable water consumption.

    (2)

    Determination of charge. The city shall calculate the pass-through adjustment and implement any changes in the charge consistent with the effective date of any change in the cost of purchased water as billed by the city from the City of Fort Lauderdale or any other wholesale water supplier. The city may implement the pass-through charge during any portion of the fiscal year as a result of material events, which may affect the financial condition of the utility system. Such material events may include, but not be limited to: (i) a rate adjustment enacted by the City of Fort Lauderdale or any other wholesale water supplier; (ii) implementation of an unforeseen surcharge or additional billing adjustment by the City of Fort Lauderdale or any other wholesale supplier.

    (3)

    The PWPTA shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

    PWPTA = ((BC × M) + (UC × BU)) × (1+T) / WS

    PWPTA = The purchased water pass-through charge expressed on a dollars per thousand gallons basis which is to be added to each water consumption block or usage charge that is currently in effect as of the date of the pass-through application.
    BC = The per unit change in any base costs or charges that are billed by any wholesale water supplier to the city through a large user or similar agreement that is not based on metered water consumption measured at the point of delivery between the wholesale water supplier and the city.
    M = The number of months in the fiscal year — (12).
    UC = The per unit change in any usage or volumetric charges that are billed by any wholesale water supplier to the city through a large user or similar agreement that is based on metered water consumption measured at the point of delivery between the wholesale water supplier and the city.
    BU = The actual billed water usage (consumption) as invoiced by the respective wholesale water supplier to the city which is increasing the usage or volumetric rates for service that occurred during the city's most recently completed fiscal year expressed in thousands of gallons.
    T = Any applicable taxes or surcharges which may be imposed upon the city from time to time by jurisdictions having regulatory authority which are directly related to the purchases of water from the wholesale water suppliers providing potable water to the city on a sales-for-resale basis.
    WS = The actual billed water sales as metered by the city to all classes of customers or users during the city's most recently completed fiscal year expressed in thousands of gallons.

     

    (e)

    Where in the judgment of the city manager or designee it appears that the amount of such deposit is not sufficient, the city manager may, using his or her discretion, require a deposit equal to twice the amount of the largest actual or reasonably anticipated monthly or quarterly bill (however the account is billed).
