Schedule W-3 Large Volume Industrial Water Service

This rate is available to industrial customers whose primary water requirement is for use in the process in which the customer is primarily engaged; whose normal water consumption is 5,000 hundred cubic feet or more per month; and who agree to remain on this rate for a period of not less than one year.

An industrial customer is generally defined as a customer who is engaged primarily in a process which creates or changes any raw or unfinished materials into another form or product but may include other processes where District determines that load characteristics are similar. Irrigation is specifically excluded.

Statutory Payment to Cities and Villages

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 14-2138 (2019) requires Metropolitan Utilities District to pay the city of a metropolitan class two (2) percent of the retail sales of water sold by the District within such city. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 14-2139 (2019) requires Metropolitan Utilities District to pay every city or village of any class, other than metropolitan, in which the district sells water, two (2) percent of retail sales of water within such city or village. Two (2) percent has not been included in the above rate. Therefore, the rate for all customers residing inside the corporate limits of a city of a metropolitan class or other city or village in which the district sells water is two (2) percent greater than the rate indicated above.

Payment

The monthly bill will be rendered at the above net rate. If not paid within 15 days of date of bill, unpaid water charges are subject to a late payment charge of four (4) percent.

Turn-On Charge

A turn-on charge will be required upon application for water service.
