Wastewater and sewer calculation
BCWS commercial materials calculate water and sewer charges using metered volume and Equivalent Residential Units, with one ERU equal to 12,000 gallons per month; usage above the purchased base volume can trigger peaking charges.

A current residential winter-average formula was not exposed.
Meter and infrastructure notes
BCWS bills based on metered water volume, and its official forms require a meter read-out date for move-in/out changes. The accessible 2026 material does not identify whether residential meters use AMI, AMR, drive-by transmitters, or manual reads, nor does it publish a universal reading schedule.
