Lot Area (square feet)

The eleven different residential allotment categories established by the District
accommodate any size lot. ELCO assigns the same allotment to all lots within a 2,000
square foot range. For example, lots between 5,000 and 6,999 square feet are
assigned an allotment of 132,000 gallons, lots between 7,000 and 8,999 square feet are
assigned an allotment of 150,000 gallons, etc.

New non-residential customers with 5/8", 1" and 1 V2" meters are assigned an annual
allotment based on the average water use of existing non-residential customers with the
same size meter. Annual allotments for new non-residential customers are fixed in the
following amounts:

5/8"

1"
1 1/2"

240,000 gallons per year
672,000 gallons per year
1,440,000 gallons per year

New non-residential customers with meters 2" and larger are initially assigned an
allotment based on their estimated water use. After one year of operation, the annual
allotment is recalculated based on actual water use. The actual water use becomes the
permanent annual allotment.

For new irrigation services, the amount of the annual allotment is based on the amount
and type of irrigated area and is calculated as follows:

Irrigation annual allotment = 20,000 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. of irrigated turf
plus
10,000 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft of mulched area
