Determination of Horsepower:

The District shall determine the connected horsepower by nameplate rating of the motor or at it's option by test under conditions or maximum operating load.

Non Usage Discount:

Irrigation installations, not under construction contract, which are idle for the full pumping season will receive a discount of twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual horsepower charge provided that such discount will not reduce the annual billing to less than the Minimum Annual Charge for single or three phase service.  This discount will be allowed only after the completion of the pumping season.
