Availability Charge RatesPer Gallon
Water$14.27 (max day usage)
Sewer$34.61 (average day usage)
 

Consumption Usage Rates 

Effective January 1, 2024

Consumption Usage RatesPer 1,000 gallons
Water (Tier 1)$3.86 
Sewer$5.76
Reclaimed Water$1.80

 

EXAMPLE:
Assumptions:

Data Center100,000SF
Cooling tower use: maximum daily water usage100,000 gallons (approx)
Average day sewer is 20% of max day water 20,000 gallons

 

Without Reclaimed Water VS. With Reclaimed Water

 

Without Reclaimed WaterGallonsOne time availability charge
Potable Water (Cooling Towers)100,000 $14.27/gallon = $1,427,000
Sewer (Cooling Towers)20,000 $34.61/gallon = $692,200
   
Total $2,119,200

 

With Reclaimed WaterGallonsOne time availability charge
Potable Water (Cooling Towers)10,000$14.27/gallon = $142,700
Reclaimed Water (Cooling Towers)100,000No Availability Charge
