WHEREAS, Due to declining sales and increased costs of providing services, it
is necessary for the City to generate additional revenues to fund operations and
improvements of the water and sewer utility, and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that additional revenues are also necessary
to meet the City's continued bond coverage requirements, and
WHEREAS, the City has been directed by the St. Johns Water Management
District to adopt a water conserving rate structure as a condition of the renewal of the
City's consumptive use permit, and
WHEREAS, the conservation rates are to be applied to residential customers
only. Commercial and multiple unit residential accounts have less control over
discretionary water use, and
WHEREAS, the City is also adopting water conserving rates for irrigation
accounts, and
WHEREAS, the current water rate structure has no provision for charging
different base amounts for meters of different sizes. The City is phasing in base charges
for commercial water customers that vary according to meter size, and
WHEREAS, the City has met the grant funding requirements of the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency and is therefore deleting all reference to the previously
charged State Revenue Generation Charge. The City is instead going to generate that
same revenue by increasing the sewer base charge amount for all customers inside and
outside the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE CITY COMMISSION
ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH,
FLORIDA, that;
Section 1. Chapter 22 of the City Code of Ordinances be amended as
follows:
Sec. 22-27. Charges for water service.
The reasonable rates, rentals, fees and other charges for the use of the services and
