Water Rates
A water bill is made up of three
separate fees: a fire protection fee based upon size of connection,
a base service charge based upon the size of the meter, and a volume
charge based upon the amount of water used. Customers are billed
quarterly.
Drastic increases in a water/sewer
bill may indicate possible plumbing problems. If you are concerned
about an increase in your bill, the Water Department might be able
to help you locate the problem. While City personnel can't make
repairs in your home, just knowing the problem exists can help you
get prompt service in fixing it. In some cases, a water leak may
even qualify for an adjustment to your bill. Additionally, yard
meters are for sale for $130.50 to separately meter water used for
watering lawns and gardens. This allows customers to only be billed
for the water used for watering and not be charged the sewer rate.
