Sewer Bill Questions

Funding Usage

Sewer charges are billed monthly and are based on the amount of water you use. The fees collected are used to fund the operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant and sanitary sewer collection system.

Fees are also used to fund equipment replacement, debt retirement, and capital projects associated with the treatment plant and collection system.
