						contractor purchases water and sewer service and resells the service to the
						manufactured home community occupants where the service is not metered, the
						maximum allowable water and sewer bill to each manufactured home community
						occupant may not exceed the lesser of the manufactured home community's water
						and sewer bill, plus 30%, divided by the number of occupied lots within the
						community, or the retail rates of the local municipality's water and sewer
						operation applied to the average user. The bill to each manufactured home
						community occupant shall be based on the previous billing cycle of the service
						provider. The average user is one whose consumption is equal to the volume of
						water billed to the manufactured home community operator or manufactured home
						community contractor, divided by the number of occupied lots or occupants

The 30% additional charge is
						  intended to recover the operational, maintenance, and capital costs associated
						  with the facilities within the manufactured home community.

						or manufactured home community contractor purchases water and sewer service and
						resells the service to the manufactured home community occupants where the

						rate based on volume plus the combination of all other charges to a typical
						residential customer, including such items as meter and storm water
						charges.
