In addition, agencies may implement both tracks for a given CII customer class, and will be considered in compliance with this BMP if the percent of surveys completed and the percent of water savings realized, when added together, equals or exceeds the applicable compliance requirement. For example, at the end of the second reporting cycle an agency would be considered on track to meet the coverage requirement if the percent of surveys completed and the percent of water savings achieved, when added together, equaled or exceeded 2.4%. Agencies may combine tracks only if they make a convincing demonstration that savings attributable to counted surveys are not also included in their estimate of water savings for meeting the water savings performance track.

For signatories supplying both water and sewer service, this BMP applies to pricing of both water and sewer service. Signmories that supply water but not sewer service shall make good faith efforts to work with sewer agencies so that those sewer agencies adopt conservation pricing for sewer service. a) Nonconservine pricin~ provides no incentives to customers to reduce use. Such pricing is characterized by one or more of the following components: rates in which the unit price decreases as the quantity used increases (declining block rates):rates that involve charging customers a fixed mount per billing cycle regardless of the quantity used; pricing in which the typical bill is determined by high fixed charges and low commodity charges. b) Conservation pricing provides incemives to customers to reduce average or peak use, orboth. Such pricing includes: rates designed to recover thecost ofproviding service; and billing for water and sewer service based on metered water use. Conservation pricing is also characterized by one or more of the following components: rates in which the unit rate is constant regardless of the quantity used (uniform rates) or increases as the quantity used increases (increasing block rates); seasonal rates or excess-use surcharges to reduce peak demands dturing summer months; rates based upon the long-mn marginal cost or the cost of adding the next unit of capacity to the system. c) Adoption of lifeline rates for low income customers will neither qualifs, nor disqualify a rate structure as meeting the requirements of this BMP. CUWCC Rate Impact Study Within one year of the adoption of this BMP revision, the CUWCC shall undertake a study to determine the relative effect of conservation rate structure influence on landscape and indoor water use. The study shall develop sample areas that incorporate varying rate structure environments (e.g., low, uniform commodity rates,: high uniform commodity rates; increasing block rates, etc.).
