We keep our rates reasonable. Wastewater fees average $31 a month per household — estimated to be 35% less than other large U.S. wastewater utilities, according to the National Association of Clean Water Agencies.
Our three largest sources of revenue:
-
Municipal Wastewater Charge
We charge our customer communities for sewer service; they pay based on the volume of wastewater treated.
-
Sewer Availability Charge
We charge our customer communities when properties first connect to the system, and when properties expand or change (causing more demand on the system).
-
Industrial Waste Charges
We have 948 industries with permits to discharge wastewater that needs additional treatment steps. Additional fees depend on the types of services provided.
