In order to address South Hopkins District’s excessive unaccounted for water loss the Commission ordered South Hopkins District to assess a monthly Water Loss Reduction Surcharge of $3.50 per active meter for 48 months, or until $500,668 has been assessed, whichever occurs first, and that a review of the necessity to continue the surcharge beyond the 48-month period be conducted before its expiration. Consistent with the findings in Case No. 2022-00122.
