Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
(a) Each public water system shall pay an annual fee to the State Board in the amount provided in Table 64305-A.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), for each community water system, the number of service connections is equal to the number of service connections that the public water system reported on the electronic Annual Report (eAR) that the public water system filed with the State Board for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the invoice is submitted to the public water system. If the public water system did not file an eAR, or did not report the number of service connections, for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the invoice is submitted, the State Board will calculate the number of service connections by increasing the number of service connections most recently reported on the eAR by 10% for each year that the number of service connections was not reported, except that if the public water system did not file an eAR for the calendar year 2012 or any calendar year thereafter, the State Board will calculate the number of service connections.
(c) For each community water system that serves a group quarters, the number of service connections for the group quarters is equal to the greater of the population for which the group quarters is designed or for which it is permitted divided by 3.3.TABLE 64305-A -- Public Water Systems Annual Fee
