The published water-rate framework is described as Increasing block water pricing. A 3/4-inch meter minimum monthly charge of $21.08 includes the first 1,000 gallons; excess water is $2.04 per 1,000 gallons from 1,001-10,000, $2.73 from 10,001-20,000 and $3.40 above 20,000, before applicable taxes and other charges..

For a single-family R1 sewer customer, the published wastewater formula is $10.25 plus $4.82 per 1,000 gallons of 70% of the winter average; if 7,000 gallons is the applicable winter average, the illustrative sewer charge is $33.89 and the combined water/sewer estimate is about $67.21 before taxes.. These descriptions are useful planning benchmarks; actual charges can change with meter size, usage, sewer averaging, local taxes, drought stages, or account-specific fees.

Wastewater and sewer calculation

Residential R1 wastewater uses a 70% flow factor based on average winter water use during three winter billing cycles, with new customers billed $35.69 until the average is established. The average is recalculated annually in July and capped at 17,000 gallons of water use, producing a maximum monthly residential sewer charge of $67.61. Approved pool-fill or significant winter leak adjustments affect future sewer bills under the Town's annual adjustment process.
