New winter average calculations will take effect with April billings.
What does this mean to me?
Usage as determined by Missouri American Water Company for periods ending January, February and March are averaged together. This new "Winter Average" will be the maximum usage determined until the billing cycle ending March, 2018. Those with less usage than this throughout the year will be billed at the lesser of actual usage or winter average.
Example:
Period
| Usage (CCF)
| Gallons
|
|---|
January 2017
| 4
| 3,000
|
February 2017
| 5
| 3,750
|
March 2017
| 5
| 3,750
|
The winter average is calculated at five units. In this case, the average is 4.67, Averages are rounded to next whole CCF.
