What does minimum usage mean?

The city charges all accounts receiving water and/or sewer services a minimum fee based on meter size. This minimum charge applies to usage between 0-3 units. The minimum fee helps distribute the fixed costs of operating, replacing and maintaining the water and sewer infrastructure and equipment.

The minimum monthly charge for most single-family residential meters is $65.07, which includes $21.18 for water, $28.87 for sewer, and $17.00 for refuse. Charges beyond the minimum are based on usage. Rates vary for larger meter sizes and multi-family units.

For information on rates for water meters other than residential, please contact the utility billing department.
