(1) shall be calculated as a monthly fixed charge based upon meter size;

(3) in the case of a municipally owned utility or a not-for-profit utility, shall be recovered over a twelve (12) month period, regardless of the amount of time over which the infrastructure improvement costs were incurred.
(b) The eligible utility shall serve the office of the utility consumer counselor a copy of its filing at the time of its filing with the commission.
(c) Publication of notice of the filing is not required.
