If the community water system did not report the number of service connections to the State Board in the previous calendar year, the State Board will calculate the number of service connections.

(c) For each community water system that serves group quarters as defined in Section 64300, the fee will be based on the residential population as determined in the eAR or other reporting tools as directed by the State Board. The fee will be calculated based on residential population pursuant to Table 64305-A.
