What is the PI Base Rate charge on my water bill?
All residents pay the base rate fee whether they are connected to the PI or not. This fee helps pay for the bond used to install and maintain the system. Why am I being billed year round instead of just during usage? The City determined that it would be more convenient for residents to pay a lower monthly fee spread over twelve months, rather than paying a higher fee for six to eight months. Do I need a filter for the water? Yes. The City filters the water it receives to 300 micron, and the remaining water from the wells is naturally filtered. It is required that a filter be installed (minimum of 500 micron) on your system for the protection of your sprinkler heads. If I do not have a sprinkling system, may I attach a garden hose to the hose bib in the connection box and water my lawn? Yes, provided you have submitted a signed Connection Agreement to the City. When may I make the physical connection to the secondary water system? Immediately. Please contact the Public Works Department
