The percentage will be set by resolution of the City <br />Council of the City of Paris based on the assessment of the City Manager, or his <br />authorized designee, of the severity of the water shortage condition and the need to <br />curtail water diversions and deliveries and may be adjusted periodically by <br />resolution of the City Council of the City of Paris as conditions warrant. Once pro <br />rata allocation is in effect, water diversions by or deliveries to each wholesale <br />customer shall be limited to the allocation established for each month. <br />(b) A monthly water usage baseline shall be established by the City Manager, or his <br />authorized designee, for each wholesale customer. The wholesale customer's water <br />usage baseline will be computed on the average water usage by month for the five <br />(5) immediately preceding calendar years. If the wholesale water customer's billing <br />history is less than five (5) years, the monthly average for the period for which there <br />is a record shall be used for any monthly period for which no billing history exists. <br />(c) The City Manager, or his authorized designee, shall provide notice, by certified <br />mail, to each wholesale customer informing them of their monthly water usage <br />allocations and shall notify the news media and the executive director of the Texas <br />Commission on Environmental Quality upon initiation of pro rata water allocation. <br />(d) Upon request of the customer or at the initiative of the City Manager, the <br />allocation may be reduced or increased if (1) the City determines the designated <br />period does not accurately reflect the wholesale customer's normal water usage; (2) <br />the customer agrees to transfer part of its allocation to another wholesale customer; <br />or (3) the City determines other objective evidence demonstrates that the <br />designated allocation is inaccurate under present conditions. A customer may <br />appeal an allocation established hereunder to the City Council of the City of Paris. <br />26 <br />
