Table 55 shows the monthly fixed charge calculation by meter size for private fire connections. Fireline ratios are based on engineering calculations of the potential capacity flow to a meter based on the service line size. Table 55. Monthly Water Service Fixed Charge Calculation, Private Fire Connections 2" $0.29 x 6.19 = $1.80 + $1.77 = $3.57 3" $0.29 x 17.98 = $5.23 + $1.77 = $7.00 4" $0.29 x 38.32 = $11.14 + $1.77 = $12.91 6" $0.29 x 111.31 = $32.35 + $1.77 = $34.13 8" $0.29 x 237.21 = $68.94 + $1.77 = $70.72 10" $0.29 x 426.58 = $123.99 + $1.77 = $125.76 12" $0.29 x 689.04 = $200.27 + $1.77 = $202.05 The proposed monthly fixed charge before revenue adjustments for the base equivalent meter (5/8 inch x 3/4 inch) is $24.50.
