available for that customer, up to a maximum of three winter periods. Any customer that
at the time of calculation has not established an AWC will be assigned the class average
AWC by meter size for such customer's classification. Customers with defective
plumbing or unexplained increases or decreases in usage of more than 25%, may be
adjusted back to a prior AWC, or be assigned the class average by meter size. In cases
where class average is not available or is not reasonable,the Director may use other
consumption information specific to such account to determine AWC.
