Water Conservation Program

Due to regulations imposed in 1991 by the Environmental Protection Division, beginning May of each year, if you use 30% more water than your average in the winter months (November-March) you will be billed a 30% surcharge for that usage. This is to encourage customers to conserve water during the summer months (May-September). Your water consumption from the winter months will be averaged and 30% will be added to that figure. This amount will be used as the summer average. When you exceed the average, your account will be charged 30% more for water consumption exceeding the average. If you are a new customer and have not established a usage history, your will be allowed to consume 6,500 gallons per month (based on the national average) before incurring a surcharge. The surcharge rate is currently $1.31 per thousand gallons. Everyone is encouraged to start their own water conservation program.
