How is my sewer (wastewater) charge calculated with the water budget?
Wastewater charges consist of a fixed service charge and a quantity charge. The service charge is based on meter size and whether you are inside or outside city limits. During the Average Winter Consumption (AWC) calculation period (December – March), quantity charges are billed using actual water use. For the remainder of the year, charges for residential customers are based on AWC or actual water use, whichever is less. Commercial/industrail/institutional (CII) customers who use either the HMU or the AMU budget option are billed using each month’s actual water use or AWC, whichever is less for all 12 months. CII customers using the Indoor/Outdoor budget option are charged for wastewater based on their actual water use.
