Average Winter Months Consumption


"Average Winter Months Consumption" is calculated before the first billing cycle in May.  An Account must have actual consumption for the months of November, December, January, and February.  Of these four months, the month with the highest consumption and the month with the lowest consumption are rejected.   The consumption for the remaining two months is then averaged to arrive at the "Average Winter Months Consumption".

Example of Calculation:

Billing Month Service Date Water Consumption
November 2004 10/30/2004 - 11/30/2004 12,000 gallons
December 2004 12/01/2004 - 12/22/2004 18,000 gallons
January 2005 12/23/2004 - 01/31/2005 11,000 gallons
February 2005 2/01/2006 - 2/28/2005 14,000 gallons

In the example above, December is the month with the highest water consumption and January is the month with the lowest usage - these months are not used in the calculations

12,000 (November consumption) + 14,000 (February consumption) = 26,000

26,000 / 2 = 13,000 gallons "Average Winter Months Consumption"
