The consumption portion of the sewer fee shall remain $1.75 per 1,000 gallons based on <br />winter quarter consumption. <br />5. The flat portion of the sewer fee shall be calculated so as to generate $102,000 in revenues. <br />6. The flat portion shall be allocated to customers based on a decile of classes. Each class will <br />be required to pay its proportionate share of the flat cost as that class relates to total <br />consumption for that service. A single decile shall be used for the flat portion of the water <br />and another single decile for sewer services. <br />7.
