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 is $35.89 per 1000 cubic feet of water, with a minimum charge of $60. These rates become effective July 1, 2009. 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 notification that the house connection has been capped off. Revised July 8, 2009 |
