Water Conservation Measures
Conservation Rate Discount
A new Conservation Rate Discount will mean a 15 percent 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 300 cubic feet (cu.ft) 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 Charge
Rates for inside-city and outside-city domestic and sprinkler customers have a 30 percent higher inclining block reflecting the Demand Management Charge on monthly usage in excess of 33 cu.ft (approximately 25,000 gallons) per meter. See monthly usage charge table above. When a customer’s usage exceeds 33 cu.ft the monthly billing statement will include the following message:
“Your monthly usage exceeds 33 cu.ft. For ways to save money and water, visit our web site at www.carkw.com”
Watershed Protection Fee
A Watershed Protection Fee will appear each month as a separate item on your billing statement. The fee will go toward funding our Watershed Management Program, which includes land purchases, water quality monitoring, and other measures to protect our drinking water supply lakes from potential sources of pollution. The monthly fee will be 45 cents for households with a 5/8 inch-diameter meter. The Watershed Protection Fee by meter size will be, as follows:
