(6) For 2004 and each subsequent taxation year, the assessed value of the water intake and discharge facilities at the Bruce, Darlington and Pickering Generation Stations is determined by multiplying the assessed value of the respective facilities for the previous taxation year by the factor determined using the formula,

1 + (A – B)/B

in which,

  “A” is the Industrial Product Price Index for March of the previous taxation year, and

  “B” is the Industrial Product Price Index for March of the year before the previous taxation year.
