Sec. 34-1352. - Assessment of the state-imposed TCEQ fee and annual fee adjustment.
(a)
The fees assessed by TCEQ, as defined above, shall be used to calculate the pass-through state-imposed TCEQ fee charged to all water and wastewater customers of the system. Such state-imposed TCEQ fee is hereby authorized and shall become effective for billings on or about January 1, 2010. The monthly pass-through is subject to change based on the adjustment formula set out herein. The state-imposed TCEQ fee shall be applied in full to all accounts billed, regardless of the length of service the account was in effect. The system is delegated the authority to administratively adjust such state-imposed TCEQ fee on an annual basis, on or about January 1 of each year in accordance with the formula set out herein in subsection (b), and following consultation with the city's supervisor of public utilities. The system is directed to show such pass-through fee, state-imposed TCEQ fee, as a separate line item on each customer bill.
(b)
An adjustment will be made to the state-imposed TCEQ fee annually, beginning on or about January 1, 2010, based on the following formula:
(1)
Water customers. The projected annual fees assessed by TCEQ for water services for the 12-month period beginning in January minus the amount of the state-imposed TCEQ fee over-recovery or plus the amount of under-recovery from the cumulative state-imposed TCEQ fee collections for water services, divided by the projected average monthly water customers multiplied by twelve (12), yields the state-imposed TCEQ fee on a dollars-per-account-per-month basis for water customers.
(2)
Wastewater customers. The projected annual fees assessed by TCEQ for wastewater services for the 12-month period beginning in January minus the amount of the state-imposed TCEQ fee over-recovery or plus the amount of under-recovery from the cumulative State-imposed TCEQ fee collections for wastewater services, divided by the projected average monthly wastewater customers multiplied by twelve (12), yields the state-Imposed TCEQ fee on a dollars-per-account-per-month basis for wastewater customers.
(3)
Customers with both water and wastewater service will have the state-imposed TCEQ fee calculated for each component, water and wastewater, of the state-imposed TCEQ fee.
Water customers:
| Projected annual fees assessed by TCEQ for water service PLUS | under-recovery or minus over-recovery from cumulative collections for water fees assessed by TCEQ | Adjusted TCEQ fee for water customers on a dollars-per-customer-per-month basis, for the 12-month period beginning on or about January 1st of each year | |
| (divided by) | = | ||
| Projected average monthly water customers × 12 | |||
Wastewater customers:
| Projected annual fees assessed by TCEQ for wastewater service PLUS | under-recovery or minus over-recovery from cumulative collections for wastewater fees assessed by TCEQ | Adjusted TCEQ fee for wastewater customers on a dollars-per-customer-per-month basis, for the 12-month period beginning on or about January 1st of each year | |
