Gas cost adjustment (§ 51.51(B)):
Each monthly bill at the above rates shall be adjusted for gas cost as follows:
(1)
The City gate rate increase or decrease applicable to current-billing-month residential and commercial sales shall be estimated to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001) per Mcf based upon:
(a)
A volume factor of 1.0381 determined for the distribution system as the ratio of Mcf purchased (adjusted to the five year weighted average percentage of unaccounted for gas) divided by the Mcf sold for the thirty-six month period which ended June 30, 1983.
(b)
The City gate rate estimated to be applicable to volumes purchased during the current calendar month, expressed to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001) per Mcf (shown below as Re).
(c)
The base City gate rate of four dollars thirty-nine and thirty-four one-hundredths cents ($4.3934) per Mcf.
(2)
Correction of the estimated adjustment determined above shall be included as part of the adjustment for the second following month. The correcting factor shall be expressed to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001) per Mcf based upon:
(a)
The corrected adjustment amount, based upon the actual City gate rate; less
(b)
The estimated adjustment amount; divided by
(c)
Distribution system residential and commercial sales Mcf recorded on the company's books during the prior year for the month that the correction is included as part of the adjustment.
(3)
The adjustment determined by subsection (1) and (2) above shall be multiplied by a tax factor of 1.06326 to include street and alley rental and state occupation tax due to increasing or decreasing company revenues under this gas cost adjustment provision. In summary, example, the gas cost adjustment (GCA) shall be determined to the nearest one hundredth of one cent ($0.0001) per Mcf by subsections (1), (2) and (3), as follows:
GCA = [ (a) + (b) ] x (c)
GCA = [(1.0381) (Re - $4.3934) + C] x 1.06326
