INFORMATION REGARDING UTILITY BILLING
There have been a few questions as to how the updated sewer and water rates are calculated, below is the calculation broken down.
Sewer is a minimum of $40.00 plus $1.00 per 1,000 gallons used
Water is a minimum of $35.00 plus $4.00 per 1,000 gallons used
Sewer consumption divided by 1,000 x $1.00 + base $40.00 = Total sewer due
Water consumption divided by 1,000 x $4.00 + base $35.00 = Total water due
Here is an example of a bill that used 4,300 gallons:
WT consumption 4300 gallons / 1000= 4.30 x $4.00= $17.20 + $35.00 minimum = $52.20
SW consumption 4300 gallons / 1000= 4.30 x $1.00= $4.30 + $40.00 minimum = $44.30
RC recycling $2.50
GB garbage $14.62
ET Excise Tax $3.13
Total bill $116.75 *The AR code on the top of the bill means arrears. If you have a balance carried forward it will be listed here, or if you have a credit.
