Fees for Residential Account Holders
For residential homes, one to three family houses are billed at the same rate charge as commercial accounts except residential usage is based on the amount of water used during the winter quarter. The reason for this is that any water used during the winter is discharged into the sanitary sewer. During the summer months water is used to water lawns, wash cars, and fill pools and never enters the sewer system. By basing the billing usage on the winter quarter only, homeowners are not billed unnecessarily for water that did not enter the sewer system.
