Utility Billing - Minimum Charges for Residential Utility Service

 

Utility rates are established by ordinance. The existing ordinances for water & sewer rates are based on the size of the meter and the number of cubic feet (CF) of water consumed (1.03/100 CF for water, $ 2.11/100 CF for sewer). The following water and sewer base rates apply to a typical single family residence (5/8" x 3/4" water meter) and the minimum refuse service of one 20-gallon trashcan.
A minimum charge for services is billed monthly whether or not the services are used; e.g., water meter is turned off; residence is vacant. The charges listed here do not include any water consumption.
