48-1774. Service charges; amount;
limitation
A. Beginning with the third year after issuance of any bonds, the board of
directors shall begin to levy a service charge over and above the cost of the power, if
purchased or leased by the district or by the users directly, or the actual cost price if
generated by the district, and income received from such source shall be deposited in the
general expense account of the district.
B. The service charge shall not be so high that it will materially impair the
public service or constitute an unreasonable burden on the agricultural interests of the
district, but it may be increased or reduced from time to time in the public interests of
the district.
C. The service charge shall at no time be more than enough to make the district
self-sustaining, taking into account reasonable needs for depreciation, new construction
and like requirements.
D. The service charges to users within the district shall be uniform and shall not
be subject to the control or regulation of the corporation commission, but service
charges to users outside the district shall be subject to such control.
