BMP 4 METERING WITH COMMODITY RATES FOR ALL NEW CONNECTIONS AND RETROFIT OF EXISTING CONNECTIONS Requirements for Documentinq BMP Implementation a) Confirmation that all new connections are metered and are being billed by volume of USe. b) Number ofunmetered accounts in the service area. For the purposes of evaluation, this shall be defined as the baseline meter retrofit target, and shall be used to calculate the agencies minimum annual retrofit requiremem. c) Number of unmetered connections retrofitted during the reporting period. d) Number of CII accounts with mixed-use meters. e) Number of CII accounts with mixed-use meters retrofitted with dedicated irrigation meters during reporting period. Criteria to Determine BMP Implementation Status a) Agency with existing unmetered connections has completed a meter retrofit plan by end of first reporting period following the date implementation was to commence. b) Agency has completed a feasibility study examining incentive programs to move landscape water uses on mixed-use meters to dedicated landscape meters by end of first reporting period fol!gwing the date implementation was to commence. c) Agency with existing unmetered connections is on track to meter these connections within 10 years of the date implementation was to commence. An agency will be considered on track if the percent of metered accounts retrofitted with meters equals or exceeds the following: 10% by end of first reporting period following date implementation to commence: 24% by end of second reporting period; 42% by end of third reporting period; 64% by end of fourth reporting period; and 90% by end of fifth reporting period. Water Savinqs Assumptions Assume meter retrofits will result in a 20% reduction in demand by retrofitted accounts.
