Is
there a credit available for water used for lawn watering and/or
pool filling?
The
answer is that although there is no credit for the additional water
used, there may be a reduced charge for the sewer that is not used.
Unlike water coming into the home, there is no
meter to measure the water exiting the home.
Therefore, sewer usage charges are based on the amount of
water consumed. In
instances where additional water is used to water lawns or fill
swimming pools, the water may not enter the City’s sewer system.
Therefore, a method was developed to credit residential
single and two-family home customers for estimated sewer charges on
the additional water used. The
calculation is based on a comparison of summer and winter bills.
There are two summer billing periods and two
winter billing periods (see chart below).
The calculation compares the quarterly water usage for the
two summer periods to the water usage for the previous two winter
periods. If either of the two summer period’s usage amounts exceeds
the higher of the two winter periods, then the billing system will
reduce the sewer usage (and resulting charges) to that of the winter
period. So, although
customers will not see a “credit” on their bill, they are
receiving reduced sewer charges for additional water used in summer.
New construction accounts must establish a
complete winter history to receive a sewer credit.
If you install your new lawn prior to establishing this
history, you will be charged both water and sewer charges on the
measured consumption. The
following summer, after a complete winter history is obtained, these
accounts will be reviewed. If
a credit was earned, it will applied for the previous year’s sewer
usage and will appear on your quarterly invoice as a credit balance.
You can also find the summer billing dates on
your quarterly invoice above the perforation. (Please
note: The dates shown in the Spring 2008 Applesource were in
error; those shown below are the correct dates.)

Billing Clerk at (920) 832-6459.
