SECTION 1. AMENDING SEC. 3-1-5 OF COPPELL CODE OF ORDINANCES
Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Coppell is hereby
amended by amending Section 3-1-5, to read as follows:
"Sec. 3-1-5 WATER RATES (Monthly)
Residential:
The monthly rates or charges for water service furnished by the
City waterworks system for single-family dwellings shall be as
follows:
First 1,000 gallons (minimum} $ 8.00
All over 1,000 gallons $ 2.60 per
1,000 gallons
The monthly rates or charges for services furnished by the City
Waterworks System for non-single-family dwellings, such as but
not limited to mobile home parks or other users wherein there is
one master meter which serves more than one unit shall be the
same rates as set forth for single-family dwellings above, based
upon an average usage for each user from the master meter
multiplied by the number of users of such meter. For
clarification and example, if a mobile home park had ten (10}
units and the master meter indicated seventy thousand (70,000)
gallons of water consumption, the average use would be seven
thousand (7,000) gallons, yielding a rate of $23.60 for each
unit multiplied by the total number of units (10} equaling a
total bill of $236.00 to be paid by the customer."
