Sewer Averaging
The customer's sanitary sewer charge is based on the average water consumption for the months of December, January & February. Once the sewer average has been established, the customer will pay that amount all year for sewer service. Each customer pays a minumum monthly charge of $21.00 for having sewer service plus $5.25 for each 1,000 gallons of water consumption used in the three months of December, January and February.
It is important to fix any known leaks, such as leaking faucets or running toilets before the City begins the averaging process. Any increase in water usage during these three months will affect the customer's sewer average for the next year.
The customer will notice their new sewer average on the March billing, which is the bill mailed out April 25th and due by May 5th. Please note that a new customer that has not established a sewer average will be charged the current City average of 4,000 gallons which will be $42.00 for sewer until they have established their own average.
For questions concerning the sewer averaging call the Utility Billing Clerk: 777-1143.
