Will the City know which houses exceed baseline by 600%?
No, the City will not know which houses are paying the tax. PG&E through its State Energy Franchise Contract will bill and collect the tax to the appropriate households and forward it to the City. While PG&E does provide Arcata with aggregate data from time to time, the City never receives individual household data. It is possible for the City to be notified of accounts who enter payment default.
