C. How is the bill calculated?

 

• Residental:


Most residential homes have a 5/8 inch water meter and are billed every two months.


• Example 1
  
  
A customer uses 6 ccf. In two months

$46.90
The combined minimum monthly bill for water and sewer services is $23.45; multiply by 2 (the bill covers 2 months) = $46.90

The minimum charge includes 3 ccf a month. A bill for two months would include 6 ccf.


• Example 2
  
  
A customer uses 18 ccf. in two months

$46.90
The combined minimum monthly bill for water and sewer services is $23.45; multiply by 2 = $46.90


$42.94
The minimum charge includes 3 ccf a month. A bill for two months would include 6ccf. The remaining 12 ccf (18ccf - 6ccf)

$89.84
 

• Commercial:


Many commercial customers have larger meters and are billed every month.


• Example 1
  
  
The customer has a 2 inch meter and uses 18 ccf in one month

$ 68.01
The combined minimum monthly bill for water and sewer services for a 2 inch meter


$ 53.67
The minimum charge includes 3ccf a month. The remaining 15 ccf (18 ccf - 3 ccf) would be charged ata $3.578 per ccf.
