SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The applicant is an elderly, disabled woman. Her
sole income is from Social Security in the amount of $490.00 per month ($5,880.00 annually). If approved, the hardship would be effective on the billing for February 2002 service.
The amount of relief is to be determined by Council. Staff recommends that the hardship be granted at the “relief base rate” for a family of one. The rate would be $22.50 per month
with a usage limit of 6,000 gallons. Any usage over this limit would be charged at $1.04 per 1,000 gallons. Sewer would be charged at the current rate of $24.50. This would result
in a total monthly bill of $47.00 if the applicant remains within the usage limits. The current water base rate is $38.70 per month. Granting a hardship to the applicant would create
a differential of $20.20 per month.
Staff also recommends that the past due balance on the applicant’s account of $255.97 be written off to allow the applicant to start paying on
an affordable current balance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the past due balance write off, and the hardship request for adjustment with a status review in February of each year.
