5.3.2.CUSTOMER IMPACTS <br />Figure 5-1 through Figure 5-3 show the bill impacts at Stage 2 drought for Single Family,Multi-Family, and <br />Commercial customers,respectively. Each graph shows bills using the most common meter size and the median <br />usage for that customer class. <br />The figures show the impacts in each stage based on the components of the customer bill,which includes the fixed <br />charge by meter size, the commodity charge per ccf of use,and the drought charge per ccf of use.The fixed charge <br />by meter size does not change based on drought stages or water usage.The three stacked bars in each figure show <br />the difference between the baseline scenario(no drought),the drought scenario with commensurate reduction in <br />water use(meaning the customer reduces their water based on the declared drought stage), and the drought <br />scenario without reduction in water use(meaning the customer does not reduce their water use even when a <br />drought stage has been declared). <br />The figures demonstrate that when the City's customers comply with the recommended water usage reductions as <br />defined by the Water Shortage Contingency Plan,the customer's water bill during a drought will not exceed their <br />baseline water bill. However,if customers do not comply with the recommended water usage reductions,then the <br />impact to their water bill can be significant. <br />Figure 5-1: Single Family Residential Bill Impacts <br />SFR Bill Impacts(518 inch meter, 20 ccf, Stage 2) <br />160 131.70 <br />147.70 <br />140 119.34 <br />120 <br />100 <br />80 <br />60 <br />40 <br />20 <br />0 <br />Proposed Bill No Proposed Bill Stage Proposed Bill Stage <br />Drought -20 ccf 2 - 20% Reduction 2 - No Reduction <br />Base Fixed Charge 21.90 21.90 21.90 <br />Base Commodity Charge 109.80 87.84 109.80 <br />Drought Charge 0.00 9.60 16.00 <br />Total Bill 131.70 119.34 147.70
