I did not use water during this billing period, why am I still getting a bill?
There is a minimum water and sewer (if applicable) charge for usage of zero to 6,000 gallons on all open accounts. The minimum charge covers utility overhead, or the fixed costs to make & maintain availability of utility services, regardless of usage volume. These costs include permitting fees, water & wastewater sampling, operator salaries, repairs & maintenance, etc.
