A complete list of customer charges will be returned to the region, which will issue the actual bills. According to commission sécretary-treasurer D.J. Ashworth, Ashworth, the PUC will receive five cents per bill from the region for its services. Calculated for Durham's 46,000 water customers, who are billed quarterly, this will add about $9,200 to the PUC coffer. ■ ANNUALLY Mr. Ashworth explained meter readings will be done annually. So for nine months of the year, residents will receive an estimated bill. The final bill for the year, based on the true reading, will take into account the difference between how much water the region estimates a customer will use and the amount he actually has used.
