Water Rates The water rates will differ for Residential, Multi-Unit Residential, or Commercial accounts (see attached rate schedule). The meter is read once per month at different times of the month depending on the area of town. This service is billed according to consumption registering on water meter. We bill per thousand gallon(s) of water. Our meter is read from left to right. We do not pick up the last three numbers to the right, which would be the ones, tens, and hundreds of gallons. Rates outside the City limits are one and one-half times the inside City limit rate.
Sewer Rates All new Residential (1-3 units) accounts start at $22.70, which is a 7,000 gallon average usage. The 7,000 gallon(s) average usage at the Senior/Disability Rate is $20.18. An average consumption is figured using the billings for the month of December, January, and February. A sewer rate is assigned to the account, based on this average. This rate goes into effect the following April 1st. Sewer rates are subject to change on April 1st of each year depending on an average of the three previous winter months. Sewer rates on Commercial accounts or Multi-family Residential accounts are based on actual monthly consumption of water. Rates outside the City limits are one and one-half times the inside City limit rate.
