Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities recommends reimbursement to Bethel Commons Condominiums, 2111 Ramblewood Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43235 (account number 22247-1181427) for over-payment of clean river and stormwater charges. Between July 26, 2007 to September 5, 2013, the customer was over-billed for and paid for a cumulative 31,025 Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) of clean river charges and storm water charges, when the charges were for a cumulative 12,775 ERUs of clean river and storm water charges. This overbilling and overpayment resulted in a customer credit of $130,582.98. The reason for the difference is relative to a re-calcualtion of the impervious areas for commercial and industrial customers.
Subsequent customer billings have reduced the customer credit to a total of $81,770.74. The Department of Public Utilities requests that this credit be returned to Bethel Commons Condominiums.
It is requested that that this legislation be handled in an emergency manner in order to reimburse the customer at the earliest possible date.
Contract Compliance is not required as this refund is necessary to our customer to whom we have agreed to provide services.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no budgetary impact because we are returning a portion of funds the customer paid. Revenues are not significantly impacted by this legislation.
