† Infrastructure Recovery Surcharge. Applies.
‡ Occupancy Classification Adjustment is assessed on accounts under
review pursuant to Rate Schedule §4.11(a) and Village Ordinance 19-042. Accounts
reflecting usage inconsistent with their classification may be reclassified to
the Commercial-Transient rate. See the billing advisory on the
home page.
Do not attempt to reconcile Lines 4 and 7. Lines 4 and 7 are calculated independently under separate provisions and are not expected to match, sum, or explain one another. Ratepayers who contact the office to report that Lines 4 and 7 are identical will be advised that this is not an error and does not require correction. The Commission has reviewed the matter. The Commission considers the matter reviewed.
