hopes of securing water in the future from another joint venture, the LonokelWhite Public Water

capital improvement costs for the Jacksonville Water Department, an increase in water rates is
required. Further, the Jacksonville City Council deems it appropriate to allow all pass- through charges
assessed by Central Arkansas Water and /or other authonzed water supplier(s) to the Jacksonville
Water Department to be assessed automatically to customers of the Jacksonville Water Department to
maintain financial stability in the operation of the Department.

SECTION FOUR: Jacksonville Municipal Code § 13.16.016 (Pass- Through Charges)
shall be created to include the following charge(s) to be implemented as indicated herein:
Any increase in rates by the Central Arkansas Water adversely affects the ability of the
Jacksonville Water Department to continue providing potable water service to its customers at existing
rates.
Accordingly, any increase in rates by Central Arkansas Water and /or any authorized water
supplier(s) shall be automatically passed to the customers of the Jacksonville Water Department after
review and approval by the Jacksonville Water Commission. Any such increase(s) could and will
affect the monthly minimum charge(s) and rate(s) and create any additional monthly charge(s) and
rate increase(s) as set forth and approved by the Jacksonville Water Commission and /or the
Jacksonville City Council. Charges and rates will be adjusted by the proportional percentage
necessary to provide additional assessment of charge(s) and rate(s) so as to allow the Jacksonville
Water Department to assess an equal pass- through increase in charge(s), fee(s), and /or rate(s) from
Central Arkansas Water and /or any authorized water supplier(s).
For example, the chart below indicates a Watershed Protection Pass - through Charge where
