Understanding Misc ChargesWhat are Misc charges?
Misc charges are made up of all of the non-metered
costs of utility service that are on a normal bill. The
daily total is typically the same because it is the
average cost of things like solid waste and drainage.
However, sometimes the Misc charges don’t look
quite right!
This is because Misc charges also include things like
reconciliation adjustments and (most commonly) debt
recovery payments.
In the example to the left, you can see that the day
misc charges are higher than normal, the customer
made a payment.
$100 x 25% = $25.00 (paid to debt recovery)
$ 3.37 (normal Misc charge)
TOTAL: $28.37 (what the charge totals)
