Hughson Municipal Code Art. XVII Rates

Rates for water service will be established by the city council by ordinance from time to time at periodic intervals as appears necessary to maintain adequate income for service expenditures and amortization of indebtedness. Such rate schedule as changed from time to time will be published or posted by the council, and copies of this rate schedule will be made available for customer's examination. The periodic change in rate schedule, however, will not require republication or reposting of this chapter. In addition to the established rates, there shall be charged an extra $2.00 per connection per month when there is a water cooler installed without a recirculating pump.

(Ord. 89-06 § 2, 1989; Ord. 07-07 § 1, 2007; Ord. 09-05 § 1, 2009)

Upon receipt of any application for water service, the water superintendent shall determine the applicable monthly rate. Such determination shall be final unless appealed in writing to the council within five days of notification of the rate to be charged.

(Ord. 89-06 § 2, 1989)

For the failure of the customer to comply with all or any part of this ordinance, and any ordinance, resolution or order fixing rates and charges of this city, customer's service shall be discontinued and the water shall not be supplied such customer until he shall comply with the rule or regulation, rate or charge which he has violated or, in the event that he cannot comply with said rule or regulation, until he shall have satisfied the city that in the future he will comply with all the rules and regulations established by ordinance of the city and with all rates and charges of this city. In addition thereto, he shall pay the city the sum of $5.00 for renewal of his service except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
