This charge is assessed to recover the cost of transportation and treatment 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 is $34.18 per 1000 cubic feet of water, with a minimum charge of $55. These rates become effective July 1, 2008.
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 charge is an annual user charge and is not extinguishable. This charge is removed only upon notification that the house connection has been capped off. Revised June 13, 2008
