2. In addition
to the agricultural service charge described in this Section
III, for all water drawn, where such water is used for
agriculture, stock raising, or dairy farming on a commercial
basis, the following consumption charge shall be imposed for
each

In order to obtain the above-agricultural rates, the
applicant shall file annually with the Department of Water a
written application and shall furnish annually satisfactory proof,
including State of Hawaii General Excise Tax License for the
engagement of business in agriculture, stock raising or dairy
farming on a commercial basis.
The bi-monthly usage of 25,000 gallons is based on the
assumption that only one dwelling exists on the farm premises.
In the event that more than one dwelling is served, then
the higher rate shown for each period shall apply to the product
of 25,000 gallons times the number of dwellings served.
The applicant for agricultural rates must agree to
accepting service from the Department of Water on an interruptible
basis; i.e., the Department retains the right to limit or restrict
water flow for agricultural uses in the event of water shortage or
in the event water service to domestic users is curtailed due to
agricultural uses. The
agricultural rates shall not apply to processing activities, such
as canneries, mills, markets or other establishments engaged in
the conversion, treatment or packaging of agricultural products.
