Sewer Service Charge
This charge is assessed to recover the cost of treatment and transportation of wastewater and the disposition of its by-products.
Every property connected to the Metro District sewer system, which has a separate property tax identification number, will be charged based on the volume of water consumed during the prior calendar year. The current rate, effective July 1, 2010, is $39.48 per 1000 cubic feet of water, with a minimum charge of $70 .
Properties with private wells, and properties where a master water meter serves multiple properties, such as condominiums, will be charged based on plumbing fixtures.
This is an annual user charge and can only be removed upon receipt of a permit that shows the house connection has been capped off.
