The application is filed and the hearing will be held under the authority of sec.49.231 of the Texas Water Code, 30 Texas Administrative Code, sec.sec.294.141-293.152, and under the procedural rules of the Commission. The District requested authority to levy uniform operation and maintenance (O&M) standby fees for calendar years 1997, 1998 and 1999, in the maximum amount allowable under Commission rules, against all undeveloped property within the District which has water and wastewater facilities and services available, and are being operated and maintained by the District. Although the application requests approval of uniform standby fees, according to information received by Commission staff, there is a small number of unimproved properties in the District which only have water facilities and services available. Therefore, staff recommends that standby fees be levied non-uniformly, based on two levels (tiers) of service availability. Commission staff have calculated the maximum allowable operation and maintenance standby fees to be $89.77 per year per equivalent single family connection (ESFC) against undeveloped property which has water and wastewater facilities and services available (Tier 1); and $44.89 per year per ESFC against undeveloped property which has only water facilities and services available (Tier 2).
