"Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 327C.04, is amended by adding a subdivision to read: 

 

Subd. 5.  Water and sewer; separate billing.  (a) For purposes of this subdivision, "third party" means an individual, corporation, firm, company, partnership, limited liability corporation, cooperative, or association that provides water or sewer services under an agreement with a park owner, which may include but is not limited to: 

 

(1) installation and maintenance of waterworks systems or sanitary sewer systems owned by the park owner;

 

(2) installation and maintenance of water measuring devices;

 

(3) measurement of water usage by each resident; and

 

(4) billing service.

 

Third party does not include a public water supplier.

 

(b) As provided in this subdivision, a park owner who installs a water measuring device to measure water service use, and provide for calculations of sewer use, may separately bill each resident in the park for water service, sewer service, or both.  This authority applies to billing performed in conjunction with a single charge made to the park owner by a public water supplier, and to billing for water or sewer service provided by means of a private well or private sewer or septic system.

 

(c) A park owner who performs separate billing of each resident for the utility service shall: 

 

(1) bill a resident at least quarterly;

 

(2) maintain exclusive responsibility for the installation, maintenance, and reading of water measuring devices; and

 

(3) perform one of the following: 

 

(i) bill a resident (A) based on that resident's actual use of water, and resulting sewer usage, as identified by the water measuring device, and (B) at the rates or calculations used by the appropriate public water supplier for each utility service;

 

(ii) if the park owner uses billing services provided by a third party, bill a resident for the actual billing amount identified by the third party for that resident; or

 

(iii) if the park owner provides the utility service by means of a private well or private sewer or septic system, bill a resident (A) based on that resident's actual use of water as identified by the water measuring device, and (B) at the rates permitted for utility charges under subdivision 3.


Journal of the House - 24th Day - Monday, March 14, 2011 - Top of Page 682

(d) A park owner may not include in a bill to a resident for utility service under this subdivision, charges for: 

 

(1) the cost of a water measuring device;

 

(2) the cost of installation or maintenance of a water measuring device;

 

(3) the cost of billing; or

 

(4) any administrative, capital, or other related expenses, including but not limited to disconnection and reconnection.

 

(e) Notwithstanding paragraph (d), a park owner may charge for repair or replacement of a water measuring device due to a resident's negligence, intentional damage, or theft by a resident.

 

(f) Notwithstanding paragraph (d), if a park owner who performs separate billing of each resident for the utility service receives a bill from a public water supplier that includes one or more fixed charges, including a connection fee, as defined in section 444.075, subdivision 3, the park owner shall apportion the fixed charges equally among each resident based on the number of lots in the park that are consuming the utility service.

 

(g) Each resident is responsible only for the metered water and resulting sewer usage and the share of any fixed charges as provided under paragraph (f).  Any difference between the aggregate metered use plus fixed charges and the total amount billed to the park owner is the exclusive responsibility of the park owner.

 

(h) A billing statement provided to each resident for utility service under this subdivision must identify (1) the amount of the resident's actual use of water for the billing period, (2) the rate charged to the resident, including any calculations performed, for each utility service billed, and (3) any fixed charges apportioned under paragraph (f).

 

Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 327C.04, is amended by adding a subdivision to read: 

 

Subd. 6.  Water and sewer; initial installation.  (a) A park owner shall provide notice to each resident two months prior to the installation of a water measuring device for use under subdivision 5.

 

(b) Prior to or with the initial separate bill to a resident for utility service under subdivision 5, the park owner shall: 

 

(1) reduce the resident's monthly rent in an amount equal to the monthly average of the resident's proportional share of the total amount billed over the previous 12 months to the park owner by the appropriate public water supplier for the utility service; or

 

(2) waive the resident's next regularly scheduled rent increase as otherwise permitted in section 327C.06, subdivision 3, over the subsequent 12-month period.

 

Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 327C.04, is amended by adding a subdivision to read: 

 

Subd. 7.  Water and sewer; water measuring device.  A water measuring device used under subdivision 5 must be: 

 

(1) certified, at the time of installation, as being in compliance with appropriate national standards produced by (i) the American Water Works Association (AWWA), (ii) the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), or (iii) the American National Standards Institute (ANSI);

 

(2) equipped with a manual or digital display that is readily accessible to the park owner and a resident; and

 

(3) installed in accordance with the plumbing code, as defined in section 326B.42, subdivision 7.


Journal of the House - 24th Day - Monday, March 14, 2011 - Top of Page 683

Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 327C.04, is amended by adding a subdivision to read: 

 

Subd. 8.  Disputes.  A park owner who separately bills residents for utility service shall: 

 

(1) promptly investigate a complaint from a resident claiming a billing error or metering defect;

 

(2) make any adjustment required in a timely manner;

 

(3) if no adjustment is made, provide supporting documents or other information justifying a determination that the billing was correct; and

 

(4) if the resident timely pays the average of the last three billing periods, refrain from taking any collection or any other adverse action against the resident for the amount of the alleged error until the park owner has complied with clauses (1), (2), and (3)."
