Rates

• Water and sewer services are combined into one bill which is sent out to individual customers monthly.
• Billing is calculated by combining a base fee for each service plus a usage fee as determined by water meter reading. 2023 rates as follows:
  • Base fee for water – $14.00 per month
  • Base fee for sewage (wastewater treatment) – $14.00 per month
  • Water use rate – $4.64 per 1,000 gallons
  • Sewage treatment rate – $8.51 per 1,000 gallons
• Water supplied for irrigation is eligible for a reduced rate.
