What’s In Your City Bill?

Basic Charge

All bills include a minimum charge which is based on the size of your water meter.

Recycling

The recycling charge is a flat fee which is charged to every residence in the city. It is your choice to recycle or not, however this fee cannot be removed from your bill if you chose to not recycle..

Sanitary Sewer

The sewer is based on your 4 month winter reading and will be the same charge for the year. If you are gone for the months that we average your sewer, we will take a percent of your total average usage for the year. This way you are not paying sewer on water that you use outside during the summer (i.e. to fill pools, irrigation, watering plants, washing vehicles), you will also pay a base charge for sewer.

Storm Water
