Wastewater and sewer calculation

Suburban bills the Sativa potable-water service. Compton sewer or wastewater charges may be imposed by the City of Compton or another serving agency and may use a fixed charge, actual water use, a winter average, or a residential cap. They are not calculated by applying a universal percentage to the Suburban water charge; customers should review any separate sewer line and ask the serving agency for its current base and usage formula.

Meter and infrastructure notes
