Are the water and sewer bills connected?
The Tullahoma Utilities Board operates three separate and distinct departments: electric, water and wastewater (sewer). Each department has its own budget. In other words, one department cannot operate out of funds from the other budget, and when one department has a rate increase, it does not necessarily mean the others will also experience an increase. Your wastewater bill each month is based upon the amount of water sent through the sanitary sewer system to be cleaned and released into Rock Creek.
