  In 2014, the Crestview Board of Directors changed Tier-1 water allocation from a yearly allocation to a monthly allocation of water shares. In other words, you must use your apportioned Tier-1 allocation in the month allotted or you lose it. In high usage months (summer), shareholders may be pushed into more expensive Tier-2 and Tier-3 rates.
