UWM Plan - Municipal Water District of Orange County

During the allocation period, MWDOC billing will remain the same. Only at the end of
the twelve-month allocation period will MWDOC calculate each member agency’s total
potable water use based on the local supply certification and MWDOC allocation model
and determine which agencies exceeded their annual allocation. From those agencies
that exceeded their allocation, MWDOC will assess penalty rates according to the
melded penalty rate structure on their next water invoice.
Understanding that the penalties can be significant to a retail agency, MET and MWDOC
will allow payment of these penalties to be spread over three monthly billing periods.
Therefore, a third of the penalties will be applied each month to the agency’s water
invoice over a three-month period
