Monthly Bill Example
Charges on Your Water Bill
Your water bill is made up of a service charge and a usage charge. The service charge for the average residential customer represents 34% of the water bill with the usage charge accounting for the remaining 66%.
The service charge covers the fixed costs for bringing water to your home so it's there any time you turn on a faucet. It includes items such as metering, billing, accounting, customer assistance and information.
The usage charge varies depending on how much water you have used in the preceding billing period. If you use less water, your usage charge will be lower. If you use more water, your usage charge will be higher.
If you are enrolled in the PipeSafe Emergency Protection Water and/or Sewer/Septic Repair programs, you will see these charges in the Charges area of your bill.
