One availability fee shall be charged to a property and not to each of the
multiple individual potable water accounts.
An example of this situation is when a commercial property has multiple
stores, etc., as multiple individual accounts, and the property is mostly
parking lot and commercial space. The property owner irrigates or uses
reclaimed water in some manner, but at only one location at the property.
The location utilizing the reclaimed water will be billed for availability and
consumption. If another location on that property needs a reclaimed
water service connection, that account will be billed according to the
schedule above.
