Base Rates Explained
Water and Wastewater Rates
Base rates help recover the cost of providing services.
The basic principle for fixed rates is to ensure we provide
equitable services that are not related to how much water
you use. Since there is no meter on your wastewater line,
the City uses a winter average because outdoor water
demand is typically low December through February.
Drainage RateThe Drainage Rate serves to recover the cost of storm water management as it relates to the flooding, erosion and water pollution based on runoff characteristics, not property value.
