BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION: THAT CHAPTER 11, SECTION 4 -A OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF COLLEGE STATION IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS: A. SCHEDULE OF RATES The monthly rates to be charged consumers for public utility services, namely electric connections, shall be in accordance with the schedules as follows: (1) Electric Rate - Schedule R (Residential Customers) (a) Applicable to single - family residential customers for all domestic usage. (b) Rate 7.55¢ 6.20¢ 5.60¢ 3.60¢ 2.90¢ the m - $4.00 per kwh per kwh per kwh per kwh per kwh 3nths of per month service charge plus for the first 25 kwhs; for the next 75 kwhs; for the next 100 kwhs: for all kwhs over 200 except for all over 700 kwhs used per month in November through April. (c) Multiple dwelling units where served under one (1) meter shall be billed under Rate Schedule R -1. (d) Power cost adjustment - The net energy charge per kilowatt - hour under the above rate shall be increased or decreased to reflect the application of a power cost adjustment calculated in accordance with Schedule PCA. (2) Electric Rate - Schedule R -L (Master Metered Multiple Dwelling Units) (a) Applicable to multiple dwelling units for all domestic usage where served under one (1) master meter. (b) Rate- The monthly rate charge for service under this schedule shall be determined as follows: 03- US ORDINANCE NO. 1303 The average kwh usage per month per dwelling unit shall be determined by dividing the total monthly kwhs purchased, as determined by the city's master meter, by eighty -five percent (85 %) of the total number of permanently constructed dwelling units. The individual rate charge per dwelling unit shall thence be computed on the basis of the average kwh usage per month per dwelling unit figured at the following rate: $4.00 per month service charge per dwelling unit, plus 7.55¢ per kwh for the first 25 kwhs; 6.20 per kwh for the next 75 kwhs; 5.60¢ per kwh for the next 100 kwhs; 3.60¢ per kwh for all kwhs over 200 except 2.90 per kwh for all over 700 kwhs used per month in the months of November through April. The total monthly bill shall thence be determined by multiplying rate charge computed under the above rate by eighty -five percent (85 %) of the number of permanently constructed dwelling units.
