WATER is made up of two individual charges and can change monthly based on your actual water usage.
$26.61: INSIDE city limits - Base Rate for first 1500 gallons. After the first 1500 gallons you are charged a per gallon rate based on usage.
$28.81: OUTSIDE city limits - Base Rate for first 1500 gallons. After the first 1500 gallons you are charged a per gallon rate based on usage.
$8: Water Reserve - this is a per customer fee that goes into a reserve account for future water infrastructure improvements.
Meters are typically read the 3rd week of the month
SEWER is made up of four individual charges that total $57.18. The charges are explained below:
$28.18: Regular Sewer - this is the basic sewer fee (per EDU) which is when you actually flush your toilet. This fee pays for the maintenance and day-to-day operation of the treatment plant.
$20: Sewer Treatment Plant Reserve - this is a debt service fee (per EDU*) which goes towards paying off the $11 million loan for the new treatment plant.
$6: Sewer Line 101 - this is a debt service fee (per EDU) which pays on the $1.5 million loan we received in 2005 for improvements to the main sewer line under Highway 101.
$3: Sewer Reserve - this is a per customer fee that goes into a reserve account for future sewer improvements.
If you have both sewer and water your monthly minimum bill will be at least $91.79 for inside the city limits.
If you live outside the city limits, your monthly bill will be at least $36.81.
The city does not provide sewer outside of city limits.
