§ 24-164. Life line water rate.

The lowest rate block in the inclining block rate described in the preceding paragraphs can be considered a "life line" rate. The intent of a life line rate is to shelter the amount of water usage typically required for essential domestic requirements from high rates. This is accomplished in the Okaloosa County water rate structure as part of the total inclining block rate structure and serves not only as a life line rate, but also as a conservation incentive in that it provides an economic benefit for lower water usage, even at the low end of the usage profile of single family residential customers.
