What is the bimonthly service charge on my water bill?
The District’s service charge is levied against all customers in the District on a bimonthly basis based on the size of each meter on the customer’s premises. The charge is designed to recover costs which do not vary with consumption. These costs include meter reading and billing customers for each bimonthly period, a portion of the District’s debt service costs, and maintenance and replacement of meters and service lines in the distribution system. The charge is in addition to the District’s commodity charge which is based on the amount of water consumed.
