WATER AND SEWER RATES

Water and Sewer BillsWater and sewer bills are based on consumption that registers through the water meter. The Water Office uses these readings, which are collected monthly by the Meter Reader, to generate the bills. We bill in one hundred gallons, meaning that for every one hundred gallons used we charge the following: $.75 per hundred gallons for water and $1.08 per hundred Water Billsgallons for sewer. The two are combined on the water bills to equal a rate of $1.83 per hundred gallons.

 There is a monthly minimum charged to all customers for the first 2,000 gallons, based on the size of the meter. After 2,000 gallons, customers are charged the rate as mentioned in the above paragraph. This minimum charge is designed to recover a portion of the fixed costs incurred in providing water and sewer services. The costs include the cost of maintaining the water supply, treatment of water and sewer, distribution and service facilities that are needed to provide water and sewer service to your home or business.

See Rate Schedule Updated 01/16/24

The water bills are generated into two billing cycles, which means we have two due dates. All bills are either due on the 5th or 25th of each month. Each account falls into these cycles based upon their location. There is a penalty of five percent applied to each bill that surpasses the due date.
