We currently have system running with Utility because it is cheaper than running with Generators due to the cost of Natural gas but we have no capability to automatically switch from Utility to the Generators when we ever have Power outage because the system was programmed to where Utility is our Backup.

Solution: With the completion of the newly installed dispensing system at Colorado Acres we can increase rates to effectively recover more of the cost of service in domestic water use, while incorporating the majority of the rate increase to heavy dispensers of water.
