FOR YOUR INFORMATIONNo increases are currently planned for 2017-2018 rates.
Water and Sewer expenses are not funded by your taxes. They are a direct result of the utilization.
You can help prolong the longevity of the waste water plant. The sewer system is NOT a receptacle for diapers, rags, depends, and especially disposable wipes. They are not biodegradable even if they say disposable. They can clog the works. Slide12
SAVE MONEYLow Flow ToiletsCan save a family of four up to 16,500 gallons a yearA drip a second can be 5 gallons a day
Reuse towels
Keep your shower under 5 minutes and save 1000 gallons a month
Soak pots and pans rather running water as you scrape
While you wait for hot water, collect running water to water plants
