Usage Range
| Rate per 1000 Gallons Usage
|
Minimum to 1.5(X) | $2.44 |
1.5(X) to 2.0(X) | $3.54 |
Over 2.0(X) | $4.84 |
X – greater of Highest Winter Usage or the meter minimum
Highest Winter Usage – Established individually by account on an annual basis.
Read periods from January-April are Winter Usage bills.
The larger consumption of the customers’ two winter bills sets the Highest Winter Usage for that customer for the following 12 month period (May-April).
Winter Usage for new customers is to be established during their first full bi-monthly billing period.
Public Water Supplier Systems:
Usage Range
| Rate per 1000 Gallons Usage

Minimum(per contract) | $2.24 |
Over minimum | $2.24 |
Temporary Water – Metered As detailed above based on meter size
Temporary Water – Not metered $200.00 per day
Sewer Use Rates
The charges for sewer service provided by the District shall be based on the amount of metered water used, as established by the Board pursuant to the following methodology:
Formulas
1. Basic User Charge Formula: UC = OMR/BG = $/1000 gallons
UC - User Charge
OMR - Operation, Maintenance and Replacement Cost
BG - Billable Gallons, in thousands of gallons
2. Basic Sewer Service Charge:
SSC = UC+(( DS + OCC)/BG) = $/1000 gallons
SSC - Sewer Service Charge per thousand gallons
DS - Debt Service
OCC - Other Capital Cost
3. Rate Adjustment:
RA = Annual increase/decreased costs for Electric, Chemicals, Gas, Sludge Disposal per 1000 gallons billable.
4. Billing Charge:
BC = Q * (SSC (+/-) RA + (Su/p 1 + Su/p 2 + Su/p 3 + Etc.))
Q =Quantity of water used during the period
Su/p =Surcharge for extra strength pollutants (See Schedule 7)
Sewer Rates:
The charges for and the amount to be paid for sewer services, as determined by metering of the water or waste discharge, shall be computed in accordance with the following:

Seasonal Billings Seasonal billing periods are established for residential users to provide an equitable means of billing sewer charges during summer months.
1. Sewer bills issued for read periods in May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December are to be Summer Cap bills
2. Sewer bills issued for read periods in January, February, March and April are to be Winter Usage bills.
3. Summer Cap bills shall not be less than minimum. Summer Cap bills shall not exceed highest Winter Usage bill of that year. Highest Winter Usage is to be established annually.
4. During non?summer periods, read periods January through April, sewer billing will be based on the actual metered volume of water used or waste discharged by a customer or the appropriate minimum for a non?metered customer.
5. Summer Cap for new residential customers is to be established during their first full bi-monthly billing period.
