§ 258-81. Rates, fees, charges imposed.  


Latest version.
  • The rates, fees, and charges imposed by any publicly owned water distribution system to its customers within the boundaries of the district shall be uniform within the service area of such water system, except to the extent a differential rate system is established based upon the cost of water distribution. Prior to the establishment of a differential rate system based upon the cost of water distribution, the publicly owned water distribution system shall certify its proposed differential rate system to the authority together with a detailed financial plan demonstrating the justification of such differential rate system based upon the cost of water distribution. The authority shall make such proposed differential rate system and financial plan available to interested members of the public and any such proposed differential rate system shall not become effective until 60 days subsequent to the date of certification. Any person, individual or corporate, and any public body receiving water from the publicly owned water distribution system shall have standing to institute appropriate proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction to determine whether the proposed differential rate system is justified based upon the cost of water distribution.
