142 City of Corona – 2024 Water, Reclaimed Water, and Sewer Rate Study
Important Information About Your Water Rates
The City of Corona City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider changes to the water and sewer rate structures and rates. The proposed changes are based on an independent cost-ofservice study that was completed and received by City Council in October 2024.
All property owners and customers of record whose parcels receive water, reclaimed water, and/or sewer services provided by the City of Corona are being issued this notice of public hearing. The proposed rate adjustments will be applicable to all parcels that receive water, reclaimed water, or sewer services from the City of Corona. The hearing is open to the public.
The property owners upon which the rates and charges are proposed and for any tenants directly responsible for the payment of water, reclaimed water and sewer service fees and charges may submit a written protest to the proposed rate changes provided that only one protest will be counted per parcel. See “How Can I Participate?” to learn more.
Additional information about the proposed changes is available in this document and online at CoronaCA.gov/rates
Wednesday, November 20, 2024
Time: 6:30 p.m.

Notice of Public Hearing
PROPOSED CHANGES TO WATER & SEWER RATE STRUCTURES
Este documento es importante para todos los residentes de la Ciudad de Corona.
Para recibir este aviso en español por favor, póngase en contacto con la ciudad llamando al (951) 736-2321.
400 S. Vicentia Ave. Corona, CA 92882 | P: (951) 736-2321 | CoronaCA.gov Page 1463 of 1895 Corona: At A Glance
The City of Corona reliably delivers water, reclaimed water, and sewer services to residents and businesses throughout our 39.2 square mile service area. We serve a population of more than 160,000 residents.
WATER SERVICE
Our water services ensure local families, business and the community have access to safe, high-quality water, high-quality water. In 2023, Corona residents and businesses used approximately 9.1 billion gallons of drinking water. Corona’s water supply comes from different sources: groundwater wells owned and operated by the City of Corona provide 45.8 percent, 49.7 percent comes through Lake Mathews from the Colorado River, and 4.5 percent comes from the State Water Project’s California Aqueduct.
SEWER SERVICE AND RECLAIMED SERVICE
The City of Corona’s sewer system serves approximately
144,000 customers and treats 13.5 million gallons per day on average. We have a long history of recycled water facilities — the City of Corona’s first water reclamation facility was built in 1968, and the clean water was returned to the environment.
Our large-scale water reclamation system saves precious drinking water for homes and businesses by generating
reclaimed water for golf courses, local parks and school grounds. It serves approximately 387 connections.

Why Have I Received
This Notice?
You have received this notice because the City of Corona is considering rate adjustments and structural changes affecting your water, reclaimed water and sewer service charges. The City is committed to transparency:
this document and the public hearing will further explain the research, reasoning, and analysis behind these proposed rate adjustments.
Why Are Rate Changes Being Considered?
Rate adjustments are being considered to support resilient infrastructure, to avoid unplanned service interruptions, and ensure the City can continue to provide first-rate utilities to its families and businesses. The proposed rates fund operations and necessary capital projects to advance community sustainability. The City maintains revenue stability through rate changes to protect financial sufficiency — another vital part of reliable, continued service.
The City of Corona is considering water rate adjustments to address regulatory changes necessary for the proactive treatment of chemicals such as perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP).
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s imported water rate hikes have also impacted our wholesale water provider, Western Municipal Water District, and those increases have trickled down to our rates here at the City of Corona. 3 Page 1465 of 1895
How Will This Impact My Bill?
As a government agency, the City can only charge what it costs to provide a utility service. This means the customer will never pay more than their fair share of the service cost.
The proposed water, reclaimed water, and sewer rate adjustments are based on an independent study completed in 2024 that evaluates the cost of providing utility service. This includes operations and maintenance, debt service, and capital expenditures. If rate adjustments are approved, most residential customers would see an increase in their water bill and a slight decrease in sewer in the next year.
The new proposed water rate structure also refines billing tiers, making customer utility bills simpler to understand and more accessible.
The sewer rate change increases customer equity by reducing residential rates. Residential customers will see a 14-cent per month decrease in 2025.

may affect your household or
business, use our bill estimator

New State Mandates Require Reduction in Indoor
Water Use in 2025
The proposed water rate change reflects upcoming state water reduction mandates, enabling the community to contribute to conservation.
Starting January 3, 2025, the standard for indoor residential water use shall be 47 gallons per capita daily. This is part of the state’s effort to advance long-term urban water use efficiency.
Understanding the Proposed Water Rate Structure
Your water bill includes a monthly fixed ready-to-serve charge. This is for each water service connection and is paid by all users connected to the City’s water system, whether or not any water is actually used.
Your water bill also includes variable charges based on water usage. The variable water rate is established by the number of units of water delivered to a property and consists of four tiers that impose higher rates as the level of water use increases. A reasonable amount of water is allocated to each customer based on their particular needs; this is referred to as a “water budget.” The INDOOR WATER BUDGET
is calculated by the number of
people in the household with
an allocation of 47 gallons of
water per person per day.
The OUTDOOR WATER BUDGET is
calculated by the amount of irrigated
square footage per parcel, the average
daily plant water loss (“evapotranspiration”
(ET)), and an outdoor efficiency factor
(OEF) of 80% that reflects the water
needs of local native plants to City of
Corona’s service area.
Above that water budget,
INEFFICIENT AND EXCESSIVE
water use will cost customers
more, because it costs the City
of Corona more to secure this
additional water supply.
5 Page 1467 of 1895
What are Budget-Based Rates?
Think of your water budget as a series of buckets available for efficient use all month.
Indoor Use: The first
bucket is for essential
indoor water use
including drinking,
cooking and washing.
Outdoor Use: Water in
your outdoor budget is
more limited.
Use only what is needed
to tend to a Californiafriendly landscaped yard.
Inefficient Use: Variations
in your water use, such
as upticks due to filling
swimming pools or
children getting a hold
of the hose on a hot
summer day, may move
into inefficient use. You
pay more for this extra
bucket of water.
Excessive Use: When
water usage dips into
the excessive bucket,
look for leaks and more
ways to reduce water
use. You can also contact
the City for a water
audit to investigate your
increased water use.
How Your Water Budget is Calculated
INDOOR BUDGET = (number of people in household X 47 gallons per person a day X number of days in the billing period)/748 gallons OUTDOOR BUDGET (residential, reclaimed accounts and dedicated landscape meters) = (Irrigated Area x (ET/12) x 80%)/100 Indoor and Outdoor use make up the total budget. Inefficient (Tier 3) is up to 50% of the total budget. Excessive (Tier 4) amounts to 51% and higher of total budget.
The City uses 4 residents per home for single-family and 2 residents per home for multi-family units. The City has a variance program available for homes with more residents. Visit CoronaCA.gov/rates.

Understanding the Proposed
Sewer Service Rate Structure
The proposed sewer rate includes a monthly fixed charge for all customers that includes an 8 hundred cubic feet (hcf) allowance per month. Non-residential customers will be charged a variable charge for all water use beyond 8 hcf in one month (per hcf). The proposed sewer rate includes a variance process for non-residential customers.
Understanding the Proposed
Reclaimed Water Rate Structure
Your reclaimed water bill includes a fixed ready-to-serve charge. This is for each reclaimed water service connection and is paid by all users connected to the City’s reclaimed water system, whether or not any water is actually used. The Ready-to-Serve charge covers our fixed costs of providing reclaimed water. Fixed costs include debt, regulatory compliance, customer service, utility billing, personnel, and preventive maintenance. To ensure you have water when needed, the infrastructure to deliver water must be built and maintained.
Your reclaimed water bill also includes variable charges based on water usage.
The proposed variable reclaimed water rate is established by the number of units of water delivered to a property and consists of two tiers: Outdoor (Efficient) and Excess. A reasonable amount of water is allocated to each customer based on their particular needs; this is referred to as a “water budget.” Exceeding this budget will cost the customer more.

How Will Rate Adjustments Be Implemented?
As authorized by Government Code Section 53756, the proposed schedule of Monthly Rates and Water Service Charges includes fixed annual rate increases for the next five years, which will be implemented by giving a notice of adjustment to customers at least 30 days before the effective date of the adjustment. If the proposed rate schedule is approved, the City Council will, however, review the schedule at a public meeting prior to the implementation of the rate increase scheduled for January 1, 2028, to assess the accuracy of the City’s cost and revenue estimates and to reaffirm that the 2028 increase remains necessary based upon the costs expended and revenues received during the first two years of the rate increases. After such review, the City Council may direct City staff to proceed with implementing the remaining scheduled rate increases in 2028 through 2029 in an amount that does not exceed the rates set forth in the proposed schedule included as part of this notice.

How to Save Money on Your
Water Bill
The Corona Utilities Department offers ongoing programs and rebates to help residents and businesses conserve resources and money, including turf replacement, California-friendly gardening guidance and money back for water-efficient devices.
The Corona Utilities Department also provides faucet aerators, low-flow showerheads, and 5-minute shower timers to customers for free.
Here are some tips for conserving water and saving money at home:
Check for breaks or leaks in your irrigation
system. According to the USEPA, fixing
household water leaks can save residents
about 10 percent on their water bills.
Consider lowering the minutes on your
irrigation controller.
Install water-efficient rotating
sprinkler nozzles. Available rebates
include $2/nozzle for a minimum
of 15 nozzles.
Try a smart irrigation controller that
reduces your run times automatically
based on the weather. Residents can
purchase a smart irrigation controller
and apply for a rebate up to $200 per
controller, for a maximum of 2 controllers
per household.
Use a rain barrel to capture rainwater that
you can use for your landscaping. Receive up
to $35/barrel in rebates.
Install water-conserving devices such as
premium high-efficiency toilets, highefficiency clothes washers, faucet aerators, and low-flow showerheads.
Purchase premium high-efficiency toilets
or a high-efficiency clothes washer. Rebates
include up to $100 per toilet and up to $135
per clothes washing machine.

Corona: At A Glance
The City of Corona reliably delivers water, reclaimed water, and sewer services to residents and businesses throughout our 39.2 square mile service area. We serve a population of more than 160,000 residents.
WATER SERVICE
Our water services ensure local families, business and the community have access to safe, high-quality water, high-quality water. In 2023, Corona residents and businesses used approximately 9.1 billion gallons of drinking water. Corona’s water supply comes from different sources: groundwater wells owned and operated by the City of Corona provide 45.8 percent, 49.7 percent comes through Lake Mathews from the Colorado River, and 4.5 percent comes from the State Water Project’s California Aqueduct.
SEWER SERVICE AND RECLAIMED SERVICE
The City of Corona’s sewer system serves approximately
144,000 customers and treats 13.5 million gallons per day on average. We have a long history of recycled water facilities — the City of Corona’s first water reclamation facility was built in 1968, and the clean water was returned to the environment.
Our large-scale water reclamation system saves precious drinking water for homes and businesses by generating
reclaimed water for golf courses, local parks and school grounds. It serves approximately 387 connections.

Why Have I Received
This Notice?
You have received this notice because the City of Corona is considering rate adjustments and structural changes affecting your water, reclaimed water and sewer service charges. The City is committed to transparency:
this document and the public hearing will further explain the research, reasoning, and analysis behind these proposed rate adjustments.
Why Are Rate Changes Being Considered?
Rate adjustments are being considered to support resilient infrastructure, to avoid unplanned service interruptions, and ensure the City can continue to provide first-rate utilities to its families and businesses. The proposed rates fund operations and necessary capital projects to advance community sustainability. The City maintains revenue stability through rate changes to protect financial sufficiency — another vital part of reliable, continued service.
The City of Corona is considering water rate adjustments to address regulatory changes necessary for the proactive treatment of chemicals such as perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP).
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s imported water rate hikes have also impacted our wholesale water provider, Western Municipal Water District, and those increases have trickled down to our rates here at the City of Corona. 3 Page 1477 of 1895
How Will This Impact My Bill?
As a government agency, the City can only charge what it costs to provide a utility service. This means the customer will never pay more than their fair share of the service cost.
The proposed water, reclaimed water, and sewer rate adjustments are based on an independent study completed in 2024 that evaluates the cost of providing utility service.
This includes operations and maintenance, debt service, and capital expenditures. If rate adjustments are approved, most residential customers would see an increase in their water bill and a slight decrease in sewer in the next year.
The new proposed water rate structure also refines billing tiers, making customer utility bills simpler to understand and more accessible. For commercial customers, the proposed water rate structures refine billing tiers from four to three.

business, use our bill estimator

Understanding the Proposed Water Rate Structure
As a Commercial Customer, your water bill includes a monthly fixed ready-to-serve charge. This is for each water service connection and is paid by all users connected to the City’s water system, whether or not any water is actually used.
Your water bill also includes variable charges based on water usage. The variable water rate is established by the number of units of water delivered to a property and consists of three tiers that impose higher rates as the level of water use increases. A reasonable amount of water is allocated to each customer based on their particular needs; this is referred to as a “water budget.” Your monthly variable water
budget is calculated using
a three-year rolling average
based on your water usage.
It changes monthly.
TIER 1 is your water budget.
You are charged at the
proposed budget rate.
Above your water budget, you
are charged more for additional
water use. TIER 2 comprises 1%
to 50% over your water budget.
TIER 3 comprises more than
51% over your water budget.

your future bill?

with you. For more information
please call (951) 736-2321 Page 1479 of 1895
What are Budget-Based Rates for
Commercial Customers?
Think of your water budget as a series of buckets available for efficient use all month.
Tier 1: This is your water
budget, based on a threeyear rolling average. Use this water efficiently to support
your business, production and
customers.
Tier 2: You are charged at the Tier
2 rate for the proportion of water
going 1 to 50% over budget.
This happens when water use
becomes inefficient.
Tier 3: You are charged at the
Tier 3 rate for the proportion
of water exceeding 51% over
budget. Water use at this level
is excessive. Look for leaks and
more ways to reduce water use.
You can also contact the City for
a water audit to investigate your
increased water use.
How Your Water Budget is Calculated
Commercial Budget Three-Year Rolling Average Formula:
STEP 1: Determine average daily use for the same period during the previous 3 years.
(Usage + Usage + Usage)/(# of days + # of days + # of days) = Average Daily Use
STEP 2: Multiply Average Daily Use by Days in the current Billing Cycle Average Daily Use x Days in Billing Cycle = Monthly Budget 6 Page 1480 of 1895
Note: Hydrant and fire line usage is charged at the tier four rate.

Understanding the Proposed
Sewer Service Rate Structure
The proposed sewer rate includes a monthly fixed charge for all customers that includes an 8 hundred cubic feet (hcf) allowance per month. Non-residential customers will be charged a variable charge for all water use beyond 8 hcf in one month (per hcf). The proposed sewer rate includes a variance process for non-residential customers.
Understanding the Proposed
Reclaimed Water Rate Structure
Your reclaimed water bill includes a fixed ready-to-serve charge. This is for each reclaimed water service connection and is paid by all users connected to the City’s reclaimed water system, whether or not any water is actually used. The Ready-to-Serve charge covers our fixed costs of providing reclaimed water. Fixed costs include debt, regulatory compliance, customer service, utility billing, personnel, and preventive maintenance. To ensure you have water when needed, the infrastructure to deliver water must be built and maintained.
Your reclaimed water bill also includes variable charges based on water usage.
The proposed variable reclaimed water rate is established by the number of units of water delivered to a property and consists of two tiers: Outdoor (Efficient) and Excess. A reasonable amount of water is allocated to each customer based on their particular needs; this is referred to as a “water budget.” Exceeding this budget will cost the customer more.

How Will Rate Adjustments Be Implemented?
As authorized by Government Code Section 53756, the proposed schedule of Monthly Rates and Water Service Charges includes fixed annual rate increases for the next five years, which will be implemented by giving a notice of adjustment to customers at least 30 days before the effective date of the adjustment. If the proposed rate schedule is approved, the City Council will, however, review the schedule at a public meeting prior to the implementation of the rate increase scheduled for January 1, 2028, to assess the accuracy of the City’s cost and revenue estimates and to reaffirm that the 2028 increase remains necessary based upon the costs expended and revenues received during the first two years of the rate increases. After such review, the City Council may direct City staff to proceed with implementing the remaining scheduled rate increases in 2028 through 2029 in an amount that does not exceed the rates set forth in the proposed schedule included as part of this notice.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE
SCHEDULE OF USER/SERVICE FEES FOR THE PROVISION OF ELECTRIC ENERGY
TO UPDATE RATES AND TARIFFS AND TO MAKE RELATED ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ELECTRIC ENERGY RULES AND REGULATIONS.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to hold a public hearing and adopt a Resolution amending the City’s Schedule of User/Service Fees for the Provision of Electric Energy to update the tariffs with the proposed rates and rates structures, and to make minor adjustments to the Electric Energy Rules and Regulations to support the tariff updates.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Hold a public hearing regarding the updated Schedule of User/Service Fees for the Provision of Electric Energy and updated Electric Energy Rules and Regulations.
b. Adopt Resolution 2024-108, amending the Schedule of User/Service Fees for the Provision of Electric Energy to update the tariffs with proposed rates and rate structures per the 2024 greenfield electric rate study and to make related adjustments to the Electric Energy Rules and Regulations.
c. Authorize an estimated revenue increase in the amount of $209,580 in the Greenfield Electric Fund 578 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
On April 3, 2024, City Council awarded Request for Proposals No. 24-051AS Utility Rate Study Project to Robert D. Niehaus, Inc. (RDN). RDN’s rate study included a study of the greenfield electric rates. The Utilities Department (UD) has made presentations to City Council on May 1, 2024, June 5, 2024, July 3, 2024, August 21, 2024, and October 2, 2024 to review policy objectives, the financial plan, and proposed rates. A notice regarding the proposed rates was issued to all greenfield electric customers on October 3, 2024. The notice included an invitation to the public hearing on November 20, 2024. If approved, the proposed rates will go into effect on January 1, 2025.
Resolution 2024-108 will amend the Schedule of User/Service Fees for the Provision of Electric Energy (Rates and Tariffs) and the Electric Energy Rules and Regulations (Rules and Regulations). The purpose of the Rates and Tariffs document is to list each individual rate schedule for the greenfield electric utility. Each schedule lists the type of customer it is applicable to, the rates, the rate structure, and any special conditions. Resolution 2024- 108 will amend the document to update the rates and rate structure as proposed in the greenfield electric rate study. The Rules and Regulations document includes all rules applicable to the greenfield electric utility, some of which refer directly to the Rates and Tariffs. Minor adjustments are needed in the Rules and Regulations to align with the changes being made in the Rates and Tariffs.
ANALYSIS:
UD asks City Council to approve the following changes to the Rates and Tariffs document to align with the proposed rates and rate structures:
Schedule AL-2 Outdoor Lighting Service Metered

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the recommended actions will result in an estimated revenue increase in the amount of $209,580 in the Greenfield Electric Fund 578 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025. Future revenue adjustments will be submitted during the annual budget process.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action is to amend the Schedule of User/Service Fees for the Provision of Electric Energy to update the rates and tariffs and the Electric Energy Rules and Regulations to make minor related changes, and there is no possibility that approving these changes will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

A. Applicability.
This schedule is available to Eligible Customer-Generators, as defined in Section 2827 of the California Public Utilities Code, operating a Renewable Electrical Generation Facility, located on the customer's owned, leased, or rented premises with a capacity of no more than one megawatt that is intended primarily to offset part or all of the customer's own electrical requirements and which is interconnected and operates in parallel with the Corona Utilities Department’s (CUD) power system pursuant to an interconnection and metering agreement (NEM Agreement) with CUD. To be eligible for this Rate Schedule, the expected annual generation from the Renewable Electrical Generation Facility must not exceed the Customer’s load for the prior full calendar year, or if insufficient historical load data is available, the expected annual load based on the customer type and characteristics.
This Rate Schedule is available on a first-come, first-served basis until the total rated generating capacity used by Eligible Customer-Generators exceeds 5 percent of CUD’s aggregate customer peak demand. The total amount of Eligible Customer-Generation connected to CUD’s distribution system and served under this Rate Schedule at any time is defined as the NEM Capacity. The total amount of Renewable Electrical Generation Facility that is eligible for service under this Rate Schedule is 1343.50 kilo-watts (“NEM Capacity Value)” and it is determined using the aggregate customer peak demand, defined by CUD as the maximum coincident peak MW reading during the same one-hour interval for the 2023 fiscal year (Annual Peak Demand).
Customers who have been approved for this program will remain eligible for the program while they occupy the premises at which the approved system has been installed.
Customers who move into premises with a system previously approved for the Net Energy Metering program are also eligible for the program providing they sign the NEM Agreement.
B. Protocol for Administering the NEM Capacity
1. Eligible Customer-Generators will be served under this Rate Schedule until the total installed NEM Capacity equals the NEM Capacity Value. Once the NEM Capacity Value has been reached, new customer generation will be served using CUD's ERG Rate Schedule. Should the capacity of a proposed project be anticipated to result in CUD exceeding the NEM Capacity Value, the proposed project will not be eligible for service under this Rate Schedule.
CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT

41 Effective Date: November 20, 2024
2. As NEM Capacity becomes available, those existing eligible renewable customer generators that are served under the ERG Rate Schedule and would like to elect service under this Rate Schedule, shall notify CUD of their interest. Upon notification CUD will evaluate the interested customer for eligibility under this Rate Schedule based on the capacity of their generator and the installation service date, with the oldest installations receiving first consideration. More specifically:
• Only customers with a renewable generator capacity that is less than or equal to the available NEM Capacity shall be considered for service under this Rate Schedule.
• Those customers meeting the generator capacity requirement will be offered service under this Rate Schedule in chronological order based on the service date of their generation.
3. New or expanded eligible renewable customer generators will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis for service under this Rate Schedule for any remaining NEM Capacity. New customer generation will be served until the NEM Capacity Value is reached. When the capacity of a proposed project is anticipated to cause CUD to exceed the NEM Capacity, the proposed project will not be eligible for service under this Rate Schedule.
C. Territory
Within the entire service territory served.
D. Rates
All rates charged will be in accordance with the Eligible Customer-Generator's otherwise applicable rate schedule on a Net Energy Metering basis. An Eligible Customer-Generator served under this schedule is responsible for all charges in its otherwise applicable rate schedule, including the Customer Charge, when applicable, regardless of the Customer’s monthly or annual net generation.

3. Meter Requirements.
CUD shall own, operate, and maintain a single meter on Customer’s premises capable of registering the flow of electricity in two directions.
If the existing meter on Customer’s premises is not capable of measuring the flow of electricity in two directions or supplying time-of-use information, Customer shall be responsible for the expenses involved in the purchase and installation of the meter.
CUD, at its expense, may install additional meters. However, if such meters are
CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
ELECTRIC RATES &TARIFFS
43 Effective Date: November 20, 2024
installed, the Net Energy Metering calculation shall yield an identical result to that of a single meter.
4. Billing.
Customer’s Net Energy Metering calculation shall be calculated over each normal monthly billing period within a 12-month period initiating on the first day of the following month from the date of the Generating Facility’s final interconnection with CUD. The monthly Net Energy Metering calculation shall be made by measuring the difference between the electricity supplied to Customer and the electricity generated by Customer and fed back to the grid over a normal one-month billing period.
At the end of each one-month billing period, CUD shall determine if Customer was a net consumer or a net producer of electricity.
In the event that the electricity supplied by CUD during the one-month billing period exceeds the electricity generated by Customer during the same period, Customer is a net energy consumer. If Customer was a net energy consumer, CUD shall bill Customer for the net energy consumption during such billing period based on the Customer’s Rate Schedule and Customer shall pay for such net energy consumption monthly in accordance with Customer’s monthly billing statement.
In the event that the electricity supplied by CUD during the one-month billing period is less than the electricity generated by Customer during the same period, Customer is a net energy producer. If Customer is a net energy producer, any excess energy generated by the customer shall be carried forward to the following billing cycle as a monetary credit on the customer’s account until the end of the 12-month period.
CUD shall provide Customer with Net Energy Metering consumption information on a monthly basis. If the Customer’s applicable tariff (Rate Schedule) employs “time of use” rates, any net monthly consumption of electricity shall be calculated according to the terms of the rate schedule. When Customer is a net generator during any discrete time of use period, the net kilowatt hours produced shall be valued at the same price per kilowatt hour as CUD would charge for retail kilowatt hour sales during that same time of use period.
If Customer’s otherwise applicable tariff employs “baseline” and “over baseline” rates, any net monthly consumption of electricity shall be calculated according to the terms of the rate schedule. If Customer is a net generator over a billing period, the net kilowatt-hours generated shall be valued at the same price per kilowatthour as CUD would charge for the baseline quantity of electricity during that billing period, and if the number of kilowatt-hours generated exceeds the baseline
CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
ELECTRIC RATES &TARIFFS
44 Effective Date: November 20, 2024
quantity, the excess shall be valued at the same price per kilowatt-hour as CUD would charge electricity over the baseline quantity during the billing period.
If Customer terminates service prior to the end of any 12-month period, CUD shall reconcile Customer’s consumption and production of electricity and bill Customer for Net Energy Metering charges, or if appropriate, issue a final payment for any excess generation, based on the applicable Net Surplus Compensation rate.
If Customer is a net energy consumer during the applicable billing period, the Public Benefits Charge that is applicable to Customer under Customer’s Rate Schedule shall be calculated based upon the Customer’s net energy consumption, if applicable, for such billing period.
5. Net Surplus Compensation.
If at the end of the applicable 12-month period, Customer is a Net Surplus Customer- Generator, then CUD shall retain any Net Surplus Energy generated by Customer, including any associated environmental attributes or renewable energy credits (“REC”), and Customer’s monetary value shall be reset to zero for the subsequent 12- month period.
If Customer is eligible for Net Surplus Energy Compensation, such compensation shall be calculated over the 12-month period.
In order to be eligible for Net Surplus Energy Compensation, Customer must:
(1) elect a compensation option in Customer’s NEM Agreement; (2) certify that Customer has sole ownership of the environmental attributes and RECs associated with the energy generated from the Generating Facility; and (3) agree to transfer to CUD all rights, title, and interest Customer has to such environmental attributes and RECs.
CUD’s Net Surplus Compensation rate shall provide just and reasonable compensation for the value of the Net Surplus Energy, while leaving other ratepayers unaffected.
If Customer is eligible for Net Surplus Energy Compensation, Customer shall receive compensation pursuant to the method selected in Customer’s NEM Agreement.
6. Termination of Service
If Customer terminates service prior to the end of any 12-month period, CUD shall reconcile Customer’s consumption and production of electricity over the time period from the end of the prior 12-month period until the date of termination. If at the end of the period prior to termination, Customer is a Net
CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
ELECTRIC RATES &TARIFFS
45 Effective Date: November 20, 2024
Surplus Customer-Generator, then CUD shall retain any Net Surplus Energy generated by Customer, including any associated environmental attributes or RECs. If Customer is eligible for Net Surplus Compensation, such compensation shall be calculated as measured from the end of the prior 12-month period until the date of termination.
7. Net Surplus Energy Compensation Rate (NSCR).
The NSCR will be based upon the following criteria: (i) CUD's annual applicable weighted average cost of energy purchased from the California Independent System Operator (CAISO); (ii) CUD’s annual weighted average CAISO Wheeling Access Charge; and (iii) value of renewable energy credits based on CUD’s most recently executed renewable power purchase contractual commitment of ten years or more. The currently applicable NSCR shall be posted to CUD’s website. The Director of Utilities, or his or her designee, shall have the authority to adjust the NSCR on November 1 of each year to reflect CUD’s prior fiscal year costs based upon the above criteria. The adjusted NSCR shall be posted on CUD’s website. If the NSCR is not adjusted or otherwise updated for any individual year, the most recently effective NSCR shall apply.

If the existing meter on Customer’s premises is not capable of measuring the flow of electricity in two directions or supplying time-of-use information, Customer shall be responsible for the expenses involved in the purchase and installation of the meter.
CUD, at its expense, may install additional meters. However, if such meters are
CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
ELECTRIC RATES &TARIFFS
33 Effective Date: November 20, 2024
installed, the Net Energy Metering calculation shall yield an identical result to that of a single meter.
4. Billing.
Customer’s Net Energy Metering calculation shall be calculated over each normal monthly billing period within a 12-month period initiating on the first day of the following month from the date of the Generating Facility’s final interconnection with CUD. The monthly Net Energy Metering calculation shall be made by measuring the difference between the electricity supplied to Customer and the electricity generated by Customer and fed back to the grid over a normal one-month billing period.
At the end of each one-month billing period, CUD shall determine if Customer was a net consumer or a net producer of electricity.
In the event that the electricity supplied by CUD during the one-month billing period exceeds the electricity generated by Customer during the same period, Customer is a net energy consumer. If Customer was a net energy consumer, CUD shall bill Customer for the net energy consumption during such billing period based on the Customer’s Rate Schedule and Customer shall pay for such net energy consumption monthly in accordance with Customer’s monthly billing statement.
In the event that the electricity supplied by CUD during the one-month billing period is less than the electricity generated by Customer during the same period, Customer is a net energy producer. If Customer is a net energy producer, any excess energy generated by the customer shall be carried forward to the following billing cycle as a monetary credit on the customer’s account until the end of the 12-month period.
CUD shall provide Customer with Net Energy Metering consumption information on a monthly basis. If the Customer’s applicable tariff (Rate Schedule) employs “time of use” rates, any net monthly consumption of electricity shall be calculated according to the terms of the rate schedule. When Customer is a net generator during any discrete time of use period, the net kilowatt hours produced shall be valued at the same price per kilowatt hour as CUD would charge for retail kilowatt hour sales during that same time of use period.
If Customer’s otherwise applicable tariff employs “baseline” and “over baseline” rates, any net monthly consumption of electricity shall be calculated according to the terms of the rate schedule. If Customer is a net generator over a billing period, the net kilowatt-hours generated shall be valued at the same price per kilowatthour as CUD would charge for the baseline quantity of electricity during that billing period, and if the number of kilowatt-hours generated exceeds the baseline
CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
ELECTRIC RATES &TARIFFS
34 Effective Date: November 20, 2024
quantity, the excess shall be valued at the same price per kilowatt-hour as CUD would charge electricity over the baseline quantity during the billing period.
If Customer terminates service prior to the end of any 12-month period, CUD shall reconcile Customer’s consumption and production of electricity and bill Customer for Net Energy Metering charges, or if appropriate, issue a final payment for any excess generation, based on the applicable Net Surplus Compensation rate.
If Customer is a net energy consumer during the applicable billing period, the Public Benefits Charge that is applicable to Customer under Customer’s Rate Schedule shall be calculated based upon the Customer’s net energy consumption, if applicable, for such billing period.
5. Net Surplus Compensation.
If at the end of the applicable 12-month period, Customer is a Net Surplus Customer- Generator, then CUD shall retain any Net Surplus Energy generated by Customer, including any associated environmental attributes or renewable energy credits (“REC”), and Customer’s monetary value shall be reset to zero for the subsequent 12- month period.
If Customer is eligible for Net Surplus Energy Compensation, such compensation shall be calculated over the 12-month period.
In order to be eligible for Net Surplus Energy Compensation, Customer must:
(1) elect a compensation option in Customer’s NEM Agreement; (2) certify that Customer has sole ownership of the environmental attributes and RECs associated with the energy generated from the Generating Facility; and (3) agree to transfer to CUD all rights, title, and interest Customer has to such environmental attributes and RECs.
CUD’s Net Surplus Compensation rate shall provide just and reasonable compensation for the value of the Net Surplus Energy, while leaving other ratepayers unaffected.
If Customer is eligible for Net Surplus Energy Compensation, Customer shall receive compensation pursuant to the method selected in Customer’s NEM Agreement.
6. Termination of Service
If Customer terminates service prior to the end of any 12-month period, CUD shall reconcile Customer’s consumption and production of electricity over the time period from the end of the prior 12-month period until the date of termination. If at the end of the period prior to termination, Customer is a Net
CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
ELECTRIC RATES &TARIFFS
35 Effective Date: November 20, 2024
Surplus Customer-Generator, then CUD shall retain any Net Surplus Energy generated by Customer, including any associated environmental attributes or RECs. If Customer is eligible for Net Surplus Compensation, such compensation shall be calculated as measured from the end of the prior 12-month period until the date of termination.
7. Net Surplus Energy Compensation Rate (NSCR).
The NSCR will be based upon the following criteria: (i) CUD's annual applicable weighted average cost of energy purchased from the California Independent System Operator (CAISO); (ii) CUD’s annual weighted average CAISO Wheeling Access Charge; and (iii) value of renewable energy credits based on CUD’s most recently executed renewable power purchase contractual commitment of ten years or more. The currently applicable NSCR shall be posted to CUD’s website. The Director of Utilities, or his or her designee, shall have the authority to adjust the NSCR on November 1 of each year to reflect CUD’s prior fiscal year costs based upon the above criteria.

d. Ratings prescribed by a., b., and c., above normally will be determined from nameplate data or from data supplied by the manufacturer. If such data are not available or are believed by either the Utility or Customer to be unreliable, the rating will be determined by test.
e. If established by seals approved by the Utility, the welder rating may be limited by the sealing of taps which provide capacity greater than the selected tap and/or by the interlocking lockout of one or more welders with other welders.
f. When conversion of units is required for tariff application, one welder kVA will be taken as one horsepower for tariffs stated on a horsepower basis and one welder kVA will be taken as one kilowatt for tariffs stated on a kilowatt basis.
2. Billing of Welders. Welders will be billed at the regular rates and conditions of the tariffs on which they are served subject to the following provisions:
a. Connected Load Type of Schedule. Welder load will be included as part of the connected load with ratings as determined under section 1., above, based on maximum load that can be connected at any one time, and no allowance will be made for diversity between welders.
b. Demand Metered Type of Schedule. Where resistance welders are served on these schedules, the computation of diversified resistance welder load shall be made as follows:
CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
ELECTRIC RULES & REGULATIONS
18 Effective Date: November 20, 2024
Multiply the individual resistance welder ratings, as prescribed in Section
1.c. to 1.f. inclusive, above, by the following factors and add the results thus obtained:
1.0 times the rating of the largest welder
0.8 times the rating of the next largest welder
0.6 times the rating of the next largest welder
0.4 times the rating of the next largest welder
0.2 times the rating of all additional welders
If this computed diversified resistance welder load is greater than the metered demand, the diversified resistance welder load will be used in lieu of the metered demand for rate computation purposes.
