SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The applicant is an elderly woman. Her sole income
is from Social Security in the amount of $1264.00.00 per month ($15,168.00 annually). If approved, the hardship would be effective on the billing for September 2003 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 balance on the applicant’s account of $148.97 be written off to allow the applicant to start paying on an affordable
current balance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the balance write off, and the hardship request for adjustment with a status review in September of each year.
