Fifty percent shall be added to all rates for water service for customers outside the city limits. City of Auburn utility taxes are included in the monthly rate for all customers except wholesale accounts. Wholesale rates exclude the 50 percent out-of-city service charge and state excise taxes.
B. Interruptible wholesale water supply customers shall pay monthly the sum of the following:
1. Standby service charge: the cost to maintain, repair, and replace the infrastructure required to provide water utility service to the interruptible wholesale water customer when the customer requests water supply from the city of Auburn. This is a fixed monthly charge and does not include the delivery of any quantity of water.
2. Usage charge: the cost of water supply. The charge is based on actual water deliveries, if any, during the month times the usage rate.
3. Purchased water surcharge: In any month in which water is purchased from Tacoma Public Utilities or other external agency, the interruptible wholesale customer shall pay an additional charge of $1.82 per ccf, applied to the quantity of water purchased by the city of Auburn during the month to supply the interruptible wholesale customer.
