How is my sewer charge determined?
Residential - Your sewer charge is based on your quarter 1 water usage (Quarter 1 occurs from January-March) for the rest of the year. If your current water usage in quarters 2-4 is lower than your quarter 1 usage, your sewer usage will decrease to the lower amount for that quarter only. Sewer usage will never exceed actual water usage. For further details, see resolution 14-06-46.
Here's an example:
Quarter | Water Usage | Sewer Usage |
1 | 15,000 gallons | 15,000 gallons |
2 | 20,000 gallons | 15,000 gallons |
3 | 25,000 gallons | 15,000 gallons |
4 | 10,000 gallons | 10,000 gallons |
Commercial - Commercial properties are billed based on actual water usage each quarter. See resolution 14-06-46.
