I believe the 10% surcharge applies to everyone in those named water districts. Whether you cut usage or not. Call them and ask if you like. They'll probably say the surcharge is to protect the environment or something. The wording is pretty clear that the surcharge is applied to all no matter what your usage is.
in the event a water shortage is declared by SWFWMD. In accordance with the rate structure, a 10 percent surcharge will be added to water usage beginning June 5 as a result of SWFWMD’s declaration of a Phase III Water Shortage.
