Wastewater Service Rates
View the Rate SheetCalculation of Charges
The charge is calculated from the average metered water use billed in December, January and February. If no service history is available for this time period, charges are calculated based on the amount of water consumption used in each month but not to exceed 10,000 gallons.When water is not on a metered basis, an estimated water consumption is calculated on a comparison of the non-metered user with a metered user of similar class.
The new average calculation is charged on the April-May statements.
