Reading Your Utility Billing

How much is a utility bill?

The total cost of your utility bill depends on water consumption.  In addition to the consumption charges there are also fixed charges.

Consumption Rate: $4.00 per one thousand gallons for usage of 9,001 gallons and up (per quarter)

Water fixed charge: $80.00 (0 to 9,000 gallons) per quarter

Sewer fixed charge: $40.00 per quarter

Infrastructure fixed charge:$20.00 per quarter

Loraas Roll-Out Waste & Recycle Cart fixed charge: $60.00 per quarter

(Note: Commercial business’ are charged differently than residential consumers, for more information, please contact the Town Office)

How is your water bill calculated?

Your water meter 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?

Yes. There is a minimum cost charged to be able to supply water services to your property even if no water is actually used or consumed.  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 or have a vacant residential or commercial space, the service can be disconnected at the Town’s curb stop and then reconnected upon your return.  There is an associated cost with the disconnect and reconnect. Once the Town’s curb stop is shut off at the street, you will not receive a bill for the fixed charges. Contact the Town Office for further information.

Why did my water get disconnected?

If your utility account is in arrears, the Town of Wolseley may disconnect water at any time, without notice. If your water is disconnected for non-payment, the utility billing must be paid to current plus additional reconnection fees before it will be reconnected. We strongly encourage consumers to keep in contact with the Town Office if they are having financial complications that do not allow them to pay their utility bills on time. The Town Office is amenable to payment arrangements, and encourages consumers to make monthly payments to keep accounts current to avoid any water service disruptions.
