is equal to 7.48 gallons.
The following rate table shall be used to determine fees for water
consumption starting October 1,
2009. Example: If you are inside the city limits, have a 1"
meter and used 7,000 cubic feet, your bill would be 14.50 for the first 660
cu. ft., plus 1.29 per 100 cu. ft for the next 6000 cu. ft or $77.40, plus
1.03 per 100 cu. ft for the remaining 340 cu. ft or 3.50. Your water
fees would be 14.50 + 77.40 + 3.50 which equals 95.40.

Sewer Fees. Industrial and Commercial Sewer usage is based on the
water usage for the same billing period. Residential sewer use is
based on the water usage during the winter months. For those contributors
who discharge wastewater of strength greater than normal domestic sewage,
an additional surcharge will be collected.
The following
rate table shall be used to determine fees for sewer usage starting
October 1, 2012. Example: If you are a
residential customer with a winter usage of 2500 cubic feet your bill
would be 22.11 for the first 400 cu. ft. plus 1.58 per 100 cu. ft for the
remaining 2100 cu. ft or 33.18. Your sewer fees would be 22.11 +
33.18 which equals 55.29.
