Manila Water Company, Inc. Billing Scheme: Average Residential (for 100% Residential Occupancy) Given: Actual Consumption of Master Meter (ACM) = 281 m3 Number of Active Units (NAU) = 17 Actual Average Consumption (ACM/NAU) = 16.53 m3/active unit Bill Computation: Based on the 2010 Residential Rates Basic Charge for 16.53 m3 1st 10 m3 (10 m3) = 81.74 (Per Active Unit) Next 10 m3 (6.53 m3 * 9.97) = 65.10 Total = 146.84 Total Basic Charge for Master Meter (TBC)

=

Basic Charge for 16.53 x NAU

=

146.84 x 17 = 2,496.28 Other charges:

FCDA
