Provisions for Adjustment
The Commodity Charge per Ccf (100 cubic feet) for gas service set forth in any Rate Schedules utilized
by the cities of the Mid-Tex Division service area for determining normalized winter period revenues shall
be adjusted by an amount hereinafter described, which amount is referred to as the "Weather
Normalization Adjustment." The Weather Normalization Adjustment shall apply to all temperature
sensitive residential and commercial bills based on meters read during the revenue months of November
through April. The five regional weather stations are Abilene, Austin, Dallas, Waco, and Wichita Falls.
Computation of Weather Normalization Adjustment
The Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor shall be computed to the nearest one-hundredth cent
per Ccf by the following formula:
