Sewer Rates:Monthly Minimum Base Charge: $ 85.00 per month, multiplied by each unit set forth in (a) below, plus the
Sewer Volume Charge: $ 0.20 per 1 cubic foot or part thereof (based on the winter-average water consumption set forth in (b) below). (e.g. the monthly sewer bill for a single-family dwelling with a winter-average of 600 cf or less shall be $85.00; or $105.00 for 700 cf winter-average.)
a) Monthly minimum base charge: shall be applied as one unit per month for all sewer accounts; except for accounts classified as:
i. “Multiple-family (multifamily) dwelling”, then the minimum monthly charge shall apply for each residential unit being billed on the same water meter account. (e.g. an account with 3 residential units shall have 3 base charges per month.)
ii. “Multiple-residential/commercial unit”, then the minimum monthly charge shall apply for the first commercial unit and for each residential unit being billed on the same water meter account. (e.g. an account with 2 commercial units and 3 residential units shall have 4 base charges per month.)
b) Sewer Volume Charge: There is hereby imposed upon all premises for which the Town provides sewer services and on which water is consumed, a sewer volume charge for sewer services which
shall be added to the established monthly minimum charge and billed as a combined flat rate charge for sewer service each month of the following fiscal year. The sewer volume charge shall be calculated by multiplying the sewer volume charge by the winter-average calculated based on the measured volume of water from all sources consumed on the premises. It is the intent of this section to calculate sewer volume charges based on water that should enter the sewerage system, and not on water used exclusively for irrigation or sprinkling.
Sewer winter-averages for the following user classes and/or specific accounts shall be calculated in the following manner:
1) Standard winter-average: based on the average of metered water consumption, excluding the first 600 cf, during a consecutive three-month period, after December 1st and before March 1st.
2) Special winter-average: The following accounts and/or user classifications shall have a winter-usage established as follows:
(a) “Multiple-family (multifamily) dwelling”: based on the average of metered water consumption, excluding the first 600 cf per each residential unit, during a consecutive three-month period after December 1st and before March 1st. (e.g. an account with 3 residential units shall have the first 1,800 cf excluded.)
(b) “Multiple-residential/commercial unit”: based on the average of metered water consumption, excluding the first 600 cf per each residential unit, during a consecutive three-month period after December 1st and before March 1st. (e.g. an account with 2 commercial units and 3 residential units shall have the first
1,800 cf excluded.)
