WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES

CONSERVATION RATE DISCOUNT

A new Conservation Rate Discount will mean a 15% discount each month for households that are inside the cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock, that have a single meter (not applicable to a sprinkler meter), and that use 3 hundred cubic feet (ccf) of water (approximately 2,300 gallons) or less per month. This discount will benefit Domestic Customers on limited incomes and will serve as an incentive for wise water use by all customers. If you qualify for the discount in a given month, your billing statement will reflect the amount of the discount and will include the following message:

“Congratulations, you received a 15% WATER discount for being a water-wise customer!”


DEMAND MANAGEMENT SURCHARGE

Inside-city and outside-city Domestic and Sprinkler customers will have a Demand Management Surcharge of 30% on monthly usage in excess of 33 ccf (approximately 25,000 gallons) per meter. When a customer exceeds the 33 ccf, the monthly billing statement will reflect the amount of the surcharge and will include the following message:

“Your bill this month reflects a 30% surcharge for usage over 33 ccf (25,000 gallons).”
