Offset ($9,500) <br />6 Total $2,293,644 <br /> <br />5.7 UNIT COST CALCULATION <br />UNITS OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS <br />The appropriate units of service are then established for each cost component based on cost causation, <br />which is shown in Table 5-13. Cost components to be recovered by the fixed charges are assigned units <br />of service based on the number of equivalent meters (Table 5-9). Cost components to be recovered by <br />variable charges are assigned units based on annual usage in ccf. <br /> <br />Table 5-13: Recycled Units of Service Definitions <br />Line Cost Components Units of Service Definition Units of <br />Service Units <br />1 Meter Equivalent meters x 6 mo. 6,561 equiv. meters/ year <br />2 Customer Meter counts x 6 mo. 894 bills/ year <br />3 Water Supply Annual usage in ccf 500,262 ccf/ year <br />4 Delivery Annual usage in ccf 500,262 ccf/ year <br />5 Rev. Offset Annual usage in ccf 500,262 ccf/ year <br /> <br />UNIT COST BY COST COMPONENT <br />Table 5-14 shows the calculation of unit costs by each cost component. The final cost-of-service <br />allocation (Table 5-12) is divided by the units of service (Table 5-13) for each cost component to derive <br />the unit cost. These unit costs will determine the cost-of-service by customer class. <br /> <br />Table 5-14: Recycled Unit Cost by Cost Component <br />Line Cost <br />Components <br />Final Cost <br />Allocation <br />Units of <br />Service Unit Cost Units <br />1 Meter $21,000 6,561 $3.20 equiv. meters/ year <br />2 Customer $5,282 894 $5.91 bills/ year <br />3 Water Supply $1,338,363 500,262 $2.68 ccf/ year <br />4 Delivery $938,499 500,262 $1.88 ccf/ year <br />5 Rev.
