ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT FOR PUMPING WATER:

The energy cost adjustment shall be calculated by dividing the CCF of metered Water sold in each quarter into the total dollar amount of fuel cost adjustments plus any base rate increases imposed by power suppliers for pumping water during that quarter:

A. Fuel cost adjustment charges by Southern California Edison Company.

B. Fuel cost surcharge charges by City of Riverside.

C. Base rate increase charges by Southern California Edison Company.* D. Base rate increase charges by City of Riverside.*
$ (A+B+C+D) = $.0000 per CCF
CCF (Metered Sales)
The resultant shall be the energy cost adjustment factor for pumping water and shall be expressed in terms of cents per CCF carried out to the nearest $0.0001. This factor shall be divided by 0.885 to allow for the 11.5% of gross revenue payable to the City General Fund. The resultant shall then become the energy cost adjustment to be multiplied by all CCF increments reported in billings to Customers. The resultant amount in each case, expressed to the nearest $0.01, shall constitute the adjustment to be added to the Customer's bill. *(Over base rates in effect February 1, 1983)
