Water and Sewer Services

Residential Customers: The City charges for water, sanitary sewer, capital fees and fixed facility charges. Water meters are read every two months and are billed in two-month increments. The utility bill is generally due by the fifth day of the month, or the first business day after, if the fifth day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday. 

Industrial/Commercial Customers: Meters are read on a monthly basis due to large usage and are billed every month. Billing is calculated in hundreds of cubic feet - 100 cubic feet is equivalent to 748.1 gallons.

• The water rate is $6.010 per 100 cubic feet (effective June 1, 2024).
• The sanitary sewer fee is $1.18 per 100 cubic feet of water usage (effective January 1, 2024).
• The capital fees rate is $2.00 per 100 cubic feet of water usage. Capital fees are charged for the maintenance of the water and sewer system infrastructure (effective January 1, 2024).

Capital Improvement Fees

In recent years, declining usage and aging infrastructure have resulted in more water main breaks, a growing backlog of improvement projects and increased maintenance cost for our water and sewer systems. To help address this problem the City Council adopted new water rates and fees in September 2023. These rates and fees are reflected in the charts on this page.
