Water
Overview
Your water rates are determined by your meter size and the amount of water
you use. Most bills are made up of two fixed charges and a volume charge.
These charges include:
- Service Charge: A fixed charge based on capacity, service and maintenance of the water system.
- Fire Protection Charge: A fixed charge based on additional costs and capacity needed to provide adequate flow to fight a fire.
- Volume Charge: A variable charge based on number of gallons of water used during the quarterly billing period.
