UTILITY OPERATING FUND
Water & sewer.
The utility's operating costs, customer revenue, and budget financing.
The 2026 utility budget.
See salary, operating, debt-service, and other appropriations alongside anticipated funding.
RATE ILLUSTRATION
What the utility rates mean for a household.
Estimate one quarter of residential Class I charges using the same metered volume for water and sewer.
A residential housing unit ordinarily has one service unit. Separate meters, billing cycles, adjustments, connections, penalties, and special customer classes can change an actual bill.
ILLUSTRATIVE QUARTERLY CHARGES
$213.50
Water: $40.00 per service unit + $2.65 per 1,000 gallons.
Sewer: $55.00 per service unit + $5.25 per 1,000 gallons.
Rates verified November 6, 2026. The 2024 water increase starts with the Cycle 1 October due date covering June-August 2024.
The adopted 2024 ordinance establishes the $40 water service charge. An older table on the codified page still repeats $24; that table is excluded from this illustration.
