B. Adjustments to Rates. On July 1, 2024, and each July 1st thereafter, the rates for the water and sewer capacity charges set forth in Exhibit A may be adjusted for inflation using the 12-month percentage change in the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index (index) published for the month of March immediately preceding the July 1st adjustment date (e.g., the annual percentage change in the index as of March 2024 would be the inflationary percentage used to increase the charges as of July 1, 2024). For the sake of clarity, the index as of March 2023 is 13,176.3.
C. Inconsistency With Other Charges. To the extent that the water and sewer capacity charges established by this section are inconsistent with charges previously adopted, it is the explicit intention of the board that the water and sewer capacity charges adopted in this section shall prevail.
