Frequently Asked Questions

13. Most of the water I use in the summer is never discharged into the sewer. Why am I still billed for sewer on all the usage?

Separate sewer meters are impractical for widespread use, so our rates are computed for sewer usage by using the water consumption. Irrigation systems can have a separate meter and billing on which no sewer is charged; however, the water rate is higher. Each customer should consider their own usage and all associated charges to make their decision.
