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:

Example:
If you used 75,000 gallons in a billing quarter with a 5/8 inch meter, you would calculate your water bill as
follows, using the water rate schedule above;
| First 10,000
gallons cost = |
$18.00 (base
rate) |
| Next 25,000
gallons tier 1 cost = |
$40.00 (25,000
x $1.60 per 1,000) |
| Next 25,000
gallons tier 2 cost = |
$72.50 (25,000
x $2.90 per 1,000) |
| Next 15,000
gallons tier 3 cost = |
$58.50 (15,000 x
$3.90 per 1,000) |
| Total 75,000
gallons cost = |
$189.00 (Your
Total Water Bill) |
