How many City residents have water and/or sewer service currently?
That is a difficult question to answer precisely. As of late 2009, the City Water Utility billed 2,703 residential metered water accounts. The City also billed 161 multi-family residential meters, which included any multi-family building with four or more residential units. An additional 625 properties are within the service area of a fire hydrant and therefore billed for the availability of water for public fire protection. It would be difficult to determine exactly how many residents are served because: 1) the number of dwelling units served by each multi-family account is unknown; and 2) the number of residents in each dwelling unit is unknown. Assuming eight units, on average, are served by each multi-family account, an estimated 3,991 dwelling units receive water service. Please note that this estimate does not include the additional 625 properties that have water available for fire protection, or the thousands of customers that work in the City’s business and industrial parks.
