In 2017, Murray City (the “City”) hired an engineering consultant to help develop a more conservation-based water rate structure. After an extensive review, the City developed a Tiered Water Rate System (“Tiered System”) made up of five (5) tiers which allows the City to encourage conservation-based watering while still meeting the financial requirements necessary to operate the City’s water systems. Under the Tiered System, a City water customer (“Customer”) is billed based on the volume of water used during a single billing cycle. The volume of water used by a customer is measured in “units”, with a single unit of water equaling 100 cubic feet. Customer water usage per billing cycle under the Tiered System is broken down as follows:
- o Tier 1 = 0-8 Units (0-800 cubic feet)
- o Tier 2 = 9-25 Units (900-2,500 cubic feet)
- o Tier 3 = 26-49 Units (2,600-4,900 cubic feet)
- o Tier 4 = 50-79 Units (5,000-7,900 cubic feet)
- o Tier 5 = 80+ Units (8,000+ cubic feet)
