California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Reimbursement Surcharge

A 1.5% surcharge is required to be added to all customers bills, which is calculated on all amounts due and is forwarded to the Commission throughout the year.

Special Conditions Pine Mountain Annual General Metered Service 

  1. The annual service charge applies to service during the 12 month period commencing January 1 and is due in advance. If a permanent resident of the area has been a customer of the utility for at least 12 months, the residents may elect, at the beginning of the calendar year, to pay prorated service charges in advance at intervals of less than one year in accordance with the utility's established billing periods.

  2. The established billing cycle for water used is monthly.

  3. The opening bill for meter service, except upon conversion from flat rate service shall be established after the first day of any year, the portion of such annual charge applicable to the current year shall be determined by multiplying the annual charge by one three-hundred-sixty-fifth (1/365) of the number of days remaining in the calendar year. The balance of the payment of the initial annual charge shall be credited against the charges for the succeeding annual period.  If service is not continued for at least one year after the date of initial service, no refund of the initial annual charges shall be due the customers.

  4. In the event that a customer terminates service under this schedule and reinstates service at the same location within 12 months, there will be a reconnection charge equal to the minimum charges which would have been billed had the customer not terminated service.

  5. All bills are subject to the Reimbursement Fee set forth in Schedule No. UF.

  6. A late charge will be imposed per Schedule No. LC.

  7. As authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission, all bills are subject to a one-time surcharge of $1.75 over approximately eighteen (18) billing cycles upon approval of Advice Letter No. 296. This charge offsets the expenses resulting from the Environmental Protection Agency's adopted National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for water testing for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.
