Water rates
Current residential water rates are based on a rate schedule by allowance. The more water you conserve the lower your quarterly bill. A base rate is charged for a 10,000 gallon allowance. The table below outlines the current residential water rate schedule by meter size. Apartment buildings, trailers, fire houses, schools, industrial and commercial properties have a different rate structure.| Meter Size | Base Rate | Allowance |
| 5/8 in | $22.00 | 10,000 gal |
| 3/4 in | $32.00 | 10,000 gal |
| 1 in | $37.00 | 10,000 gal |
| 1 1/2 in | $42.00 | 10,000 gal |
| 2 in | $47.00 | 10,000 gal |

For example: Using the water rate schedule above, if you used 75,000 gallons in a billing quarter with a 5/8 inch meter, you would calculate your water bill as follows:
| First 10,000 gallons cost = | $22.00 (base rate) |
| Next 25,000 gallons tier 1 cost = | $42.50 (25,000 x $1.70 per 1,000) |
| Next 25,000 gallons tier 2 cost = | $75.00 (25,000 x $3.00 per 1,000) |
| Next 15,000 gallons tier 3 cost = | $60.00 (15,000 x $4.00 per 1,000) |
| Total 75,000 gallons cost = | $199.50 (Your Total Water Bill) |
