HENDERSON: Are you familiar with the federal regulations that require that the system must <br />collect sufficient revenue to ensure that the federally funded treatment works are properly <br />maintained and operated, and that all users of the system pay their proportionate share based <br />on the users proportionate wastewater loading? <br />BAUMAN: Yes, somewhat. <br />HENDERSON: Ms. Bauman, does a residential dwelling that has a laundry and bath area located <br />in an annex building create a larger wastewater loading than a dwelling that has those facilities <br />located within the dwelling given the same water consumption? <br />BAUMAN: I can't answer that. That's not in my area of expertise. <br />HENDERSON: Do you agree that the inspector’s assessing and the sewer division's billing for <br />two sewer user fees for a single-family residence’s single wastewater loading is a violation of <br />the federal regulations about proportionate share? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: Sorry. Could you repeat that? <br /> <br />HENDERSON: Do you agree that the inspector’s assessing and the sewer division’s billing for <br />two sewer user fees for a single-family residence’s single wastewater loading is a violation of <br />the federal regulations about proportionate share? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: No, I can't say that I agree. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: You do not agree with that. Yeah, that's right. Ms. Bauman, in your testimony, <br />item No. 11, you stated that you were familiar with the term unoccupied unit. The Section 21-2 <br />definition of unoccupied unit ends with the wording “and currently receives a water bill.” Do <br />you know if that unoccupied unit receives a water bill from the Department of Water Supply? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: That unoccupied unit is, my understanding, isreceiving water, the water turns on, <br />and the property does receive a water bill. So I would say yes, it does receive it. <br /> <br />BAUMAN: Ms. Bauman, have you inspected the water bill that was submitted as Exhibit 18 in <br />our opening brief? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: Not in detail. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: Ms. Bauman, is the address on the bill from the Department of Water Supply 75- <br />5946 Ali‘i Drive, Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: I do not have a copy of that in front of me. <br /> <br />26 <br /> <br /> <br />
