Wastewater and sewer calculation
Golden State Water supplies the potable water system; the reviewed Culver City materials do not establish a Golden State Water wastewater tariff or a utility-wide sewer percentage/winter-average formula for this service area. Sewer charges, if applicable, are administered separately by the responsible local sewer agency or property arrangement, so customers should use that agency's account rules rather than infer sewer charges from the Golden State Water water meter bill.
Meter and infrastructure notes
Golden State Water bills from account meter readings and may issue monthly or bimonthly statements. The reviewed Culver City materials do not publish a local AMI conversion percentage or fixed route day. Customers should use the bill's previous and current reads, service dates, and meter number; MyGSWater provides account history and usage information, while Golden State Water should be contacted to confirm the exact meter technology and any leak-alert capability at a particular premise.
