How is my sewer bill calculated?

Quarterly sewer charge is calculated using a base charge plus usage. Minimum basis for charge is 6,000 gallons regardless of water use. The usage is based on water consumption for the quarter. 

The charge for the third quarter may be adjusted to address irrigation water use. Recognizing that the third quarter has always been the highest water-using quarter, primarily due to irrigation activities, sewer charges for this quarter will be based on water usage during the second and third quarters. The lower water usage of these two quarters will be the basis for sewer charges in the third quarter.
