(2) For the purpose of dealing with fluctuations in the cost of electricity in collecting and treating sewage and septage the following formulae shall be applied \u2014 Water Authority Regulations (2022 Revision) Regulation 44 (a) EAF(WW) = 0.664*(E-0.320), where EAF(WW) is the energy adjustment factor per Sewerage Fixture-unit per month, 0.664 is the number of kWhs used to collect and treat the equivalent of 1 SFU of sewage, E is the current price per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity inclusive of any surcharge applied by Caribbean Utilities Company, and $0.320 is the base price of electricity; and (b) EAF(ST) = 31.429*(E-0.320), where EAF(ST) is the energy adjustment factor for each one thousand gallons of septage, 31.429 is the number of kWhs used to treat 1,000 gallons of septage, E is the current price per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity inclusive of any surcharge applied by Caribbean Utilities Company, and $0.320 is the base price of electricity. (3) For the purpose of dealing with inflation, the base price shall be adjusted annually on 1 July of each year (the \u201cAdjustment Date\u201d) by subtracting an amount equal to fifty-five percent (55%) of the base price and adding to the resulting sum an amount equal to \u2014 0.20 * BP * (CI current\/CIbase) + 0.35 * BP * (UScurrent\/USbase) where \u2014 \u201cBP\u201d = the base price; \u201cCI current\u201d = the value of the Cayman Islands Consumer Price Index (CICPI) at 31 December immediately preceding the Adjustment Date; \u201cCIbase\u201d = the value of the Cayman Islands Consumer Price Index (CICPI) at 31 December 2018, which is 104.2; \u201cUScurrent\u201d = the value of the United States of America Producer Price Index (USPPI) at 31 December immediately preceding the Adjustment Date; \u201cUSbase\u201d = the value of the United States of America Producer Price Index (USPPI) at 31 December 2018, which is 207.8; and \u201cUSPPI\u201d means the US Producer Price Index for Industrial Commodities less Fuels, Not Seasonally Adjusted - Series ID: WPU03T15M05, as published by United States Department of Labor. (3A) For the purposes of paragraph (3), \u201cbase price\u201d means \u2014 (a)  the sewerage charges specified in regulation 45; (b)  the septage charges specified in regulation 46; or (c)  the water charges specified in regulation 49 including the statutory fee under regulation 49(3). (4) The calculations of the base price adjustments carried out as per paragraph (3) shall be submitted to the Auditor General for independent verification no later than 15 May of each year and, in the absence of any corrections or response, the adjustments shall be deemed to be correct.
