Beginning June 15, your waste treatment charges will be modified to provide a "credit" for outdoor activities such as lawn and garden watering that do not go through the treatment plant collection system.

Your water use is billed according to actual gallons used, and the waste treatment is billed at a winter average instead of the summer meter reading. This ends August 15, when the waste treatment billing again calculates on the meter read.
