Unit Charged

The residential Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA) User Rate per Centum Cubic Feet (CCF) for Fiscal 2023-2024 is $6.478 A single fixed residential Unit Charge of $34.000 per quarter is billed every resident with access to the sewer system. Residents not connected are not exempt from this cost.

Measuring Consumption

The number of CCFs each dwelling generates is determined by the amount of water coming into the house. That consumption is measured by their water meters and billed quarterly. The consumption plus the Unit Charge determines the total sewer user bill.

Example: Water consumption of 21 CCF multiplied $6.478 equals $136.038 plus the Unit Charge $34.00 equals $170.038 for the quarter.
