Water Rates for  Residential and Business Categories

Cubic Feet (C.F.) of Water Usage	Inside City Limits Per 100 Cubic Feet	Outside City Limits Per 100 Cubic Feet
First 100	Included in Minimum	Included in Minimum
1st Tier	$1.60	$2.72
Conservation Tier*	$1.60	$2.72

* Conservation Tier is an additional charge per 100 c.f. for usage over water average.

A minimum fee based on the meter size is charged.  The 1st 100 c.f. of water is included in the minimum fee.  All usage after the 1st 100 c.f. is billed in the following manner:

Water consumption as shown on the bills for the months of January, February and March is averaged to determine a "water use average" for both residential and business accounts. Usage that falls within this average during the months of April through March of the following year will be billed $1.60 per 100 c.f. (excluding the 1st 100 c.f. that is included in the minimum). All usage exceeding the water use average will be billed an additional $1.60 per 100 c.f.    

EXAMPLE:
Average water usage = 700 c.f.				Actual water usage = 900 c.f.
Minimum charge per		5/8" meter size  =		$9.18	(includes 1st 100 c.f.)
		800 c.f. X 1.60  =		$12.80
200 c.f. over avg.		200 c.f. X 1.60  =		$3.20
Bill Amount				$25.18

To convert gallons to cubic feet, divide gallons by 7.48. 
325,851 gallons = 1 acre foot.
