Consumption-based wastewater billing: winter water average
A small portion of your utility bill for wastewater is based on your home's average water consumption during the preceding winter months of October - April. This is called the winter water average.
- Under this format, every customer will pay at least $71.68 per billing period (for two months of service), plus the winter water average usage at $.70 per unit.
- Each unit of water is equivalent to 748 gallons.
- Effective January 1, 2024, customers will pay at least $76.56 per billing period (for two months of service) plus the winter water average usage at $.75 per unit.
Most cities in the region base some portion of their wastewater utility bill on water usage.
