Electric (Effective January 1, 2011)

If master metered, the combined demand must be less than 75 KW to qualify for the commercial rate. For master metered buildings, the fixed charge shall be multiplied by the number of units served and added to the energy charge to obtain the total billing. The customer shall receive only one bill for the building.

     Fixed Charge: $35.00 per month
     Energy Charge: All KWHs per month @ $0.08368 per KWH

COMMERCIAL INTERRUPTIBLE HEAT RATE
This rate is for customers who use electricity for the purpose of heating a business and who have a non-electric auxiliary source of heat, which would be sufficient to allow MMU to curtail their electric heat for up to 12 hours in any 24-hour period. Each heat source (electric and auxiliary) must meet the qualifications specified by MMU and be capable of supplying the total heat necessary for the building in all weather conditions.

A separate meter shall be installed to record the interruptible heat only. The electric heat consumption shall be billed on the Commercial Interruptible Heat Rate for six (6) months per year on the November through April utility billings. All consumption on the May through October utility billings shall be billed on the Commercial Rate.

     Fixed Charge: $35.00 per month (Primary Meter Only)
     Primary Meter Energy Charge:
     All KWH per month @ $0.08368 per KWH

     Electric Heat Meter Energy Charge:
     (November through April Billings)
     All KWH per month @ $0.05055 per KWH

     Electric Heat Meter Energy Charge:
     (May through October Billings)
     All KWH per month @ $0.08368 per KWH

The billing demand is the greatest 15-minute demand during the billing period. The minimum demand to be billed will, in no event, be considered less than 25% of the greatest demand billing during the preceding 11 months, whether or not energy is used. All charges are subject to applicable power factor adjustments.

If demand is maintained at less than 75 KW per month for 12 consecutive months, the customer will then be changed to the Commercial Rate. If a customer on the Demand Metered Rate installs an automatic demand controller and thereby reduces their demand to less than 75 KW, the customer may be changed to the Commercial Rate with the approval of MMU's Operations Manager.

     Fixed Charge: $250.00 per month
     Energy Charge: All KWH per month @ $0.02746 per KWH
     Demand Charge: All KW per month @ $22.65 per KW

DEMAND METERED INTERRUPTIBLE RATE
This rate is for customers who have a demand of 75 KW to 9999 KW per month and who can continuously disconnect all or part of their load, up to a maximum of 500 KW, during periods of peak demand and meet the qualifications specified by MMU. MMU may control the load for a maximum of 16 hours in any 24-hour period. Larger interruptible loads may be approved if they can be controlled to benefit MMU's system.

The minimum billing in this rate classification is 25% of the greatest demand billed during the preceding 11 months on the "Demand/Energy Meter", plus the demand billing on the "On-Peak Meter". All charges are subject to applicable power factor adjustments.

     Fixed Charge: $250.00 per month
     Energy Charge: All KWH per month @ $0.02746 per KWH
     Demand Charge:
     KW per month on the Demand/Energy Meter @ $9.26 per KW
     Plus KW per month on the On-Peak Meter @ $18.34 per KW

Power Factor Adjustment
MMU Demand metered customers shall at all times use power in such a manner that their average power factor is as near to 100% as possible.  MMU may, at their discretion, perform tests and/or install reactive metering to determine average power factor.  When the reactive metering indicates a lagging power factor of less than 95% twice in any consecutive 12 month period, the customer shall be notified in writing and allowed an additional two months to correct the power factor before a power factor charge is billed.  After the two month grace period, if the average power factor is less than 95%, the customer will be billed a power factor charge which is determined by subtracting the metered Demand divided by 95% from the corrected Demand and multiplying the result by the kW Demand rate.

PRIMARY METERING & TRANSFORMER CREDITS
A 1% discount in demand and energy charges will be given for either primary metering or customer-owned transformers. (A 2% credit will be given for both primary metering and customer-owned transformers).

Separate Irrigation and Sprinkler Meter Usage Rate:

First 1600 cu. ft. @ $2.80/100 cu. ft. (July through October Billings)

Over 1600 cu. ft. @ $3.36/100 cu. ft. (July through October Billings)

(November through June Billings: All usage @ $2.24/100 cu. ft.)

MULTIPLE OCCUPANCY
Service to more than one customer through one meter under a single billing will be allowed. However, the readiness-to-serve charge will be multiplied by the number of units physically served and added to the water usage charge. The customer shall receive only one bill for the multiple occupancies.

Waste Water  (Effective January 1, 2012)

Base Charge:  $17.66 per month (minimum)
Wastewater Rate:  $2.74 per 100 cu. ft. of water used.
Industrial wastewater used @ $1.74 per 100 cu. ft.

The following surcharges apply to the Industrial wastewater rate:

  a. Excess CBOD charge of $255.28 per 1000 pounds.
  b. An excess suspended solids surcharge of $255.15 per 1000 pounds.
  c. An excess Phosphorous Surcharge of $0.61 per pound.

Service to more than one customer through one water meter under a single billing will be allowed. The minimum sewer charge and the usage charge (based on water usage) in each block of the rate schedule will be multiplied by the number of units served. The customer shall receive only one bill for the multiple occupancies.

NOTE: Wastewater (sewer) charges are billed and collected by Marshall Municipal Utilities. The Wastewater system is operated by and rates are set by the City of Marshall. Any questions regarding wastewater services can be directed to the City of Marshall at (507) 537-6776.
