§ 13.44.055. Resale rate.

In circumstances under which the Director determines pursuant to PAMC 13.32.020.F. that it is appropriate to allow a customer to furnish City water to a subsequent purchaser for the purpose of resale or transfer of the water outside of Port Angeles, the rates and conditions for such water shall be as follows:

A.

The regular monthly and usage metered rates for the water service at which the water is obtained shall continue to apply.

B.

A surcharge shall be paid for water consumption in excess of 100,000 gallons at the rate of $0.0052 per gallon for 2018. This surcharge reflects the commodity value of water for resale or transfer as well as the fact that such irregular purchases of City water are not required to pay service connection or latecomer system development charges as do other new customers of the water utility and the fact that single, large purchases of water can have a negative impact on the City's water utility and source of supply.

C.

Said surcharge may be used for special water utility purposes such as water system or water quality improvement projects.

D.

Any fees charged by the customer to the subsequent purchaser shall be subject to the approval of the Director.

E.

The purchaser shall be required to execute a hold harmless agreement, acknowledging that the City makes no representations as to the quality of the water and indemnifying the City and its officials and employees against any claims, lawsuits, or damages that may result directly or indirectly from the purchase of water from the City of Port Angeles.
