The surcharge is necessary due to the significant and rapidly escalating increases associated with fuel and energy costs. This surcharge will be based on total pounds shipped and the average fuel price for diesel as reported by the U.S. Department of Energy website at www.eia.doe.gov.
"The ongoing and rapid increase of our transportation and energy costs makes it necessary to impose surcharges for customers in North America, while allowing for adjustment with cost fluctuations," said David Flitman, Nalco Senior Executive Vice President and President, Water and Process Services.
A separate invoice for customers will be generated on the 15th of each month for the duration that this surcharge is in effect. The surcharge amount will be calculated based on total pounds shipped and the average U.S. on-highway diesel price for the previous month.
