THE PASS THROUGH CHARGE FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS WATER AUTHORITY
AS OFJANUARYI, 2016; AMENDINGJMC§§ 13,16.010-13,16,014; AND, FOR
OTHER PURPOSES,
WHEREAS, because of a Pass Through Charge (PTC) assessed to Jacksonville Water Works
(JWW) by Central Arkansas Water (CAW) for an increase to public water rates for all customers of
Jacksonville Water Works, JWW is implementing the PTC for JWW ratepayers as of January 1,
2016; and,
WHEREAS, with authority granted through IMC § 13.16.016, Jacksonville Water
Commission authorized implementation of the 2016 Pass Through Charge from CAW in its
December 16, 2015 meeting to all JWW ratepayers. In an effort to make the public aware of the
increase in charges, the Water Commission has requested that the City Council also acknowledge
the 2016 PTC through passage of this Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL VED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, THAT:
SECTION ONE: Pursuant to authority granted under JMC § 13.16.016 and per
the November 13, 2014, CAW Resolution 2014-10 from Central Arkansas Water (CAW) regarding
the first step of a Multi -phase Pass Through Charge, ratepayers of the Jacksonville Water Works
(JWW) will pay additional amounts for water service as follows. For 2016, there will be an
increase of Six Cents ($0:06) per One Thousand (1,000) Gallons collected from all Inside JWW
ratepayers, including Wholesale, Residential, Industrial, and Commercial Customers, and an
increase of Forty-two Cents ($0.42) per Customer Charge to all Water Works customers so as to
equate JWW's proportional share of CAW's 2016 Pass Through Charge. Said Pass Through Charge
is equivalent to an approximate Ten and No/100 Percent (10.00%) annual water purchase rate
increase and should result in an increase of approximately Six Cents ($0.06) per One Thousand
Gallons (1,000G) of usage for a JWW customer, regardless of classification. Said Pass Through
Charge will be implemented and collected from all Inside JWW ratepayers, including Wholesale,
Residential, Industrial, and Commercial customers, beginning January 1, 2016, until further
determined, with initial payment due Central Arkansas Water as of February 2016.
Implementation of this Pass Through shall also affect the rates of those customers paying Outside
City water rates in a proportional manner as required under the terms of this Chapter. Per JMC
§13.16.016, regardless of the above calculations, only that exact charge assessed by CAW will be
assessed against and passed through to JWW ratepayers, as approved by the Jacksonville Water
Commission and this City Council in compliance with JMC § 13.16.016.
