Description
Geneva Water Corporation, Van Wyck Water District, and Water District No. 2, three water districts located outside of the corporate boundaries of the City of Bellingham (hereinafter generally referred to as "water districts"), appeal from a judgment dismissing their lawsuit in which they alleged that the Citys nonresident water rate ordinance is discriminatory, arbitrary, and unreasonable. The water districts primarily sought recovery for claimed overcharges resulting from the allegedly excessive rate differential between resident and nonresident bulk water users, and for repayment of a monthly $1.50 per household surcharge imposed only upon nonresidents. In addition, the Van Wyck and Geneva districts claimed reimbursement for pumping charges imposed only upon nonresidents. All of the water districts asked for an injunction to prohibit the City from charging them more than what the court might determine to be a reasonable water rate. After a nonjury trial, the trial court entered its judgment of dismissal on April 9, 1973, supported by findings of fact and conclusions of law determining that the Citys nonresident water rates are not discriminatory, arbitrary or unreasonable.
