*The wastewater volume charge is based on winter averaging and is effective every October 1st which begins our Fiscal Year. The new charge will be on the December utility bill.
Winter averaging is calculated by looking at the water usage between November and January and between January and March. We use the lower of the two usages except if one is zero, then we will use the other. The minimum we bill is 2,000 gallons and the maximum is 30,000 gallons.
For example: if January usage was 49,000 gallons and March usage was 24,000 gallons, we will use the March usage for wastewater volume charge for the next Fiscal Year.
New residential customers will be assigned a volume of 12,000 gallons bi-monthly, until they have developed a winter average history.
More information about Winter Averaging can be found here.
