How much will my water bill be?

There are two parts to the water/sewer bill. The first part is the base rate. A single family house will be billed a $25 base rate per quarter for water and a $42.00 base rate per quarter for sewer. The second charge is the consumption charge. Water is billed at $2.55 per hundred cubic feet and sewer is billed at $5.90 per hundred cubic feet. Each bill will fluctuate due to the amount of water that goes through the meter.


Quick Reference formula for invoice calculation

- (Number of units times $25) plus (consumption times $2.55/hcf) equals quarterly water invoice

- (Number of units times $42.40) plus (consumption times $5.90/hcf) equals quarterly sewer invoice

- (Number of units times rate of fire protection items) equals quarterly fire protection invoice


Note: Franchise areas (specific service areas outside of city limits) are charged a 15 % surcharge for water. Charges are $24.15 base charge and consumption charges of $2.70/hcf. See Tariff for complete rate schedules. Unmetered Sewer Charges are a flat rate of $280.90 and are billed semi-annually by the tax collector.
