Calculated Annual Sewer Winter Averages

The District has calculated the annual sewer winter averages for your homes. This is your Sanitary Sewer fee listed on your water bill. This fee covers charges for wastewater (sewer) treatment for your household. An average of the previous winter water consumption (Dec, Jan, Feb & Mar) is charged at a rate of $8.84 per 1,000 gallons along with the Sanitary Sewer Base Fee of $15.30. If you do not have a winter average, your charges will be based on the District’s average. 

Indoor Allocation - The District has also restructured the indoor potable water allocations per household. The District will use your household sewer winter average as calculated above and as appears on your bill, plus an additional 1,500 gallons per month – these amounts combined are the maximum indoor Conserving rate allocation for your household for the next 12 months, without irrigation. A separate allocation for outdoor use will be added to your account during the months of May through October. As a good reminder, the District bills in tiers to encourage conservation and once a household’s water use exceeds their allocation, the price of water goes up for every 1,000 gallons that was used above their allocated amount.  Click here for further information.
