This service charge covers reading the meter and billing and collection costs. The monthly charge for wastewater covers the costs to maintain the lines that collect wastewater.
For all metered residential users who irrigate lawn or other landscaping during the months of March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November, the sewer use charge on bills rendered during those months may be adjusted to the average monthly charges of the preceding January, February and March sewer utility billings. New residents, or residents moving to new premises, will be charged based upon either the city-wide, single-family residential winter quarter average (5,500 gallons) or their monthly usage, whichever is lower, until they establish their own winter quarter average (WQA) history.
