How is the residential sewer (wastewater) charges calculated and why does it go up?
Charges are based on number in household until usage can be determined on the water usage during the months of November, December, January and February. Since we are unable to meter sewer, we average your winter water consumption. We take the winter months of November thru February and average the water usage to apply as the sewer rate every July. This could cause an increase, decrease, or sometimes no change in the sewer rate. The rates stay in effect from July of the current year until July of the next year.
