Sec. 883.1. Schedule of water charges

The schedule of water charges established in accordance with section 881.2 of this Title shall be as follows:

(a) $80 per million gallons for consumptive use, subject to subdivision (c) of this section; and

(b) $0.80 per million gallons for non-consumptive use, subject to subdivision (c) of this section.

(c) On July 1st of every year, beginning July 1, 2017, the rates established by this section will increase commensurate with any increase in the annual April 12-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Philadelphia, published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics during that year. In any year in which the April 12-month CPI for Philadelphia declines or shows no change, the water charges rates will remain unchanged. Following any indexed adjustment made under this paragraph, revised consumptive and non-consumptive use rates will be posted on the commission’s website. Interested parties may also obtain the current rates by contacting the commission directly during business hours.
