 New Rates adopted by City Council on 11/22/11 and effective 12/01/11

WASTEWATER SERVICE CHARGES

These rates are applicable to all residential, multifamily and commercial retail wastewater customers within the corporate limits of the City of Bastrop who have metered water connections and to whom city wastewater service has actually been connected, except for customers who have a city approved, on-site sewer system, septic system or other on-site wastewater system, and have not connected to the city's wastewater system, or customers who have a water meter for irrigation use only, as long as the irrigation meter does not provide water to plumbing fixtures.

MINIMUM CHARGE -   $ 21.26

Plus the following charges for consumption per 1,000 gallons:

0 - 5,000 gallons $ 1.93
5,001 - 10,000 gallons $ 2.18
10,001 - 20,000 gallons $ 2.33
20,001 - 50,000 gallons $ 2.50
Over 50,000 gallons $ 2.73

Method of computing average monthly water use:

Wastewater bills for residential and commercial customers shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly water usage ("winter water average" December, January and February) for the bills due and payable in January, February and March each year.  In the event that the monthly water usage for any month during the period of March through November, inclusively, is less than the computed "winter water average", the lesser of the two shall be used as the basis for the calculation of the wastewater bill.  The winter water average shall be recomputed following the March billing of each year to reestablish the winter water average for the next twelve-month period.
