Aqua Tariff, Section 6.6 – Water Installation

After the applicant has met all requirements, conditions, and regulations set forth in this Tariff, Aqua
will then (1) install a tap, meter, and cut–off valves within the boundaries of the parcel of land or lot
to be served, and (2) take all necessary actions to initiate service.

Aqua’s Tariff, Section 6.10 – One Dwelling Per Meter Policy

It is a rule of the PUC (16 Texas Administrative Code Section 24.169(a)(4)), and the policy of Aqua
to require one paid meter and tap for each residence and dwelling for human habitation. Upon
detecting the possibility of multiple dwellings on a single meter, Aqua will communicate verbally
and in writing to the suspected party and/or parties violating this policy and require a pre-payment
to set water meters for the additional dwellings. Noncompliance constitutes the basis for a
disconnect from Aqua’s System with any reconnection fees to be paid by the member.

In the event a member is currently paying more than one Monthly Customer Charge and Aqua is
specifically and knowingly permitting service to more than one dwelling from a single meter, Aqua
will continue service to that member. Aqua will continue to accept two or more minimum payments
each month until such time as the property is transferred in whole or in part to new owner(s), at
which time the new owner(s) must fully comply with the One Meter Per Dwelling policy.

Upon subdivision of a property having more than one dwelling connected to a single meter, any
owner of a subdivided portion of the property wishing to continue water service must become a
member of Aqua and obtain a meter dedicated to providing water service to the owner’s portion of
the property. Each owner of a subdivided portion of the property must convey to Aqua any
easements necessary to provide water service to other portions of the property. The new service
connections are subject to all the requirements of Water Service to Subdivisions in this Tariff,
including, without limitation, full payment of tap fees and membership fees. Failure to have meters
installed to serve each tract may result in disconnection of service to any or all subdivided portions
of the property.

A single master meter may service more than one manufactured home provided the member pays
the Monthly Customer Charges in accordance with Rate Schedule section of this Tariff and the
serviced dwellings are located within a manufactured housing park.
