A RESOLUTION CONFIRMING IMPLEMENTATION OF A PASS THROUGH
CHARGE UNDER JMC § 13.16.016 FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS WATER TO
JACKSONVILLE WATER WORKS RATEPAYERS FOR PAYMENT OF THE PASS
THROUGH CHARGE FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS WATER AUTHORITY AS OF
JANUARYIt 2014; 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
customers of Jacksonville Water Works, JWW is implementing the PTC for JWW ratepayers as of
January 1, 2014; and,
WHEREAS, with authority granted through JMC § 13.16.016, Jacksonville Water
Commission authorized implementation of the 2014 Pass Through Charge from CAW in its
December 18, 2013 meeting to JWW ratepayers. The Jacksonville Water Commission chose not
to implement the 2013 phase of the Two (2) part PTC, but believe prudent business practices
require implementation of this year's phase of the PTC. In an effort to make the public aware of
the increase, the Water Commission has requested that the City Council also acknowledge the
2014 PTC.
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 December 5, 2012 Notice received from Central Arkansas Water regarding a Two (2) phase
Pass Through Charge of Six Cents ($ 0.06) per One Thousand (1,000) Gallons will be collected
from all JWW ratepayers (except Wholesale Customers) to match JWW's proportional share of the
2014 Pass Through Charge from CAW. Said Pass Through Charge is equivalent to an approximate
Three and 61/100 Percent (3.61%) increase and should result in an average monthly increase of
approximately Forty-two Cents ($0.42) per month. Said Pass Through Charge will be implemented
and collected from JWW ratepayers (except Wholesale Customers) beginning January 1, 2014,
until further determined, with initial payment due Central Arkansas Water as of January 2014. Per
the terms of said Code provision, regardless of the above numbers, only that exact charge
assessed by CAW will be assessed against and passed through to JWW ratepayers, as approved by
the Water Commission and this City Council in compliance with JMC § 13.16.016.
SECTION TWO: Any and all other Resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed to the extent of said conflict.
SECTION THREE; This Resolution shall be in force and effect from and after
its date of passage.
