Basic Charge.
In general, a planned unit development (PUD) designation is one approved in accord with applicable PUD development standards and served by a master water meter. However, if a dwelling unit would otherwise be included within a PUD designation but has its own individual City water meter, it will be billed as a sing le-family residence under SMC 13.04.2002 or other applicable rate section. Questions of applicability are determined by the Water Director. [Cross Reference: SMC 17A.020.160(X)]
Consumption.
For billing water consumption, the PUD will be charged the same as a sing le-family residence within the City limits except the PUD’s total consumption will be calculated by multiplying the number of residential units by the maximum amount on each tier to get a new maximum usage allotted for each tier (for example, tier 1 is 0-600cf, a PUD of 12 homes would get 7200cf at tier 1 for purposes of applying the rate steps defined in SMC 13.04.2002(B).
