The bill you receive for water and sewer services is made up of both a Flat Rate  and a Metered Rate. The Flat Rate represents the minimum level of revenue required to pay for fixed costs, such as capital, staffing, equipment maintenance, reporting, insurance and interest. The Metered Rate represents the revenue to cover variable costs such as electricity, fuel and chemicals and is calculated on your water consumption.
