What is summer sewer relief and when does it start?
Summer sewer relief runs from May (June bills) through October (November bills). During this period customers are billed their winter average for the sewer portion of the bill. To calculate the winter average, the six winter month usages are collected, the high reading and low reading are removed and the remaining four readings are averaged. This average is the most the customer will be charged for sewer during the summer. Customers who are new and do not have enough usage history are given the average usage for their area.
