§ 9.7.0. REDUCED CHARGES

9.7.1 Single Family Residential Phase-in - After the monthly charge has been computed, it may be adjusted for single family residential property in accordance with Section 15-2-7 of the Austin City Code for the period between October 1, 2015 and October 1, 2016. When the calculated monthly fee for a single family property exceeds $9.80, the increase over $9.80 shall be determined and then reduced by 50%. An example would be a calculated fee of $19.80. The $10 increase (over $9.80) would be reduced by 50% to a $5 increase and the resulting fee for the first year would be $14.80. The reduced charge shall be allowed for properties that are designated as single family in the City's billing system. This includes garage apartments, but does not include duplexes, townhouses/condos, or mobile homes.

9.7.2 Customer Assistance Program (CAP) - Each year, Austin Energy's Customer Assistance Discount Program may select customers who qualify for the program to receive a discount on the drainage charge, up to the limit specified by the Director of the Watershed Protection Department (WPD). The Director of WPD shall specify the number of customers to receive the drainage charge discount, and may change the number at any time by notifying Austin Energy via a signed memo. The drainage charge discount percentage shall be set in the annual fee schedule.
