Dear Sirs:

Re: Electrical Power Supply to Drainage Pump Stations

On behalf of Council, I have been requested to write to you with regard to
the B.c. Hydre Rate Schedule being charged for the supply of Electrical Power
to Drainage Pumping Stations.

The B.C. Hydro 1200 Rate Schedule contains provision for a minimum monthly
charge. This charge is the greater of $11.09 Per Month or "50% of the
highest maximum demand charge bi

period during the immediately prec (On—peak periad is
defined as 1 November in any year to 31 March of the following year.)

It is Council’s contention that for the purpose of Operating Drainage Pumping
Stations, billing should be based on the actual metered demand for each

month.

The reason for writing at this time, is to inquire if your Municipality has
ever had occasion to query this method of billing and to determine if other
efforts are being made to have B.C. Hydro revise the Minimum Demand Billing

Policy.
