Colorado Water
Denver Water has decided to refund surcharges under certain conditions according to the Rocky Mountain News [October 28, 2004, "Water bill refunds OK'd"]. From the article, "Denver Water agreed to refund $7 million in drought surcharges Wednesday, saying the fees were well-intentioned but hit some residential customers too hard. The $7 million represents about half of the $14.4 million the surcharge generated. Denver Water, the state's largest municipal water supplier, will calculate the refunds over the next two weeks, giving full refunds to homeowners who reduced use 30 percent from 2001 levels and partial refunds to others who also conserved."
Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [October 28, 2004, "$7 million to flow back to Denver"].
