Reading your Utility Billing

 

How much is a utility bill?

The total cost for water and sewer depends on consumption.  In addition to the consumption charges there are also fixed charges.

Consumption Rate: $4.00 per gallon  after usage of 9,000 gallons per quarter

Water fixed charge: $80.00

Sewer fixed charge: $40.00

Infrastructure fixed charge:$20.00

(note that commerical business' are charged differently than residential consumers)

How is your water bill calculated?

Your water metre measures the water consumed in gallons.  The amount of water your residence or business consumes is multiplied by the current water and sewer rates .

Am I still charged if I don't use any water?

There is a minimum cost charged to be able to supply water services to your property even if no water is actually used.  This is the fixed charge for the water and sewer system.

If you are going to be absent from your residence for an extended period of time, the service can be inactivated and then reactivated upon your return.  There is an associated cost with this service.  Contact the Town of Town of Wolseley.
