How this utility’s billing works

The published water-rate framework is described as Base allowance plus uniform per-1,000-gallon usage charge, with inside-city and outside-city rates and separate residential/commercial schedules. Sewer also has a base allowance and per-1,000-gallon usage charge.. Bills are generated monthly; the city’s bank-draft form authorizes a monthly utility bill draft on the 4th day of the month., and a typical residential cost reference is Approximately $28.71 per month inside the City for 6,000 gallons: water is about $10.21 ($8.16 for the first 3,500 gallons plus $0.82 per additional 1,000) and sewer is about $18.50 ($15.30 plus $1.28 per additional 1,000).

These descriptions are useful planning benchmarks; actual charges can change with meter size, usage, sewer averaging, local taxes, drought stages, or account-specific fees.
