Residential Sewer Rates 2024 Winter Averaging

Winter averaging months are here! Conserve water now to obtain your best possible residential sewer rate for 2024.

Residential sewer rates are recalculated every year based on a customer’s average water consumption during the “Service Periods” for January, February and March.  We call this a “winter average,” and it is your fixed sewer rate for the rest of the year.  This means that the sewer portion of a customer’s bill will not increase in the summer months due to sprinkling, car washing and filling of swimming pools. 

The last date of the “Service Period” is considered as the bill for that month. 

For example, the following are all January bills:

Week 1: 12/08/2023 thru 01/04/2024
Week 2: 12/15/2023 thru 01/11/2024
Week 3: 12/22/2023 thru 01/18/2024
Week 4: 12/29/2023 thru 01/25/2024

The Service Period is shown in the top third of your water bill next to CURRENT BILLING DETAILS.

The new winter averages will appear on the April 2024 bill. 

Please note that sewer rate increases become effective January 1, 2024.
