Water

Water rates are based on two elements:  a flat rate charge to cover fixed customer related costs (routine maintenance, billing, accounting, fire protection [hydrant systems], and debt payments) and, a consumption (variable) charge for each cubic meter of water used.  The total rate covers the cost of supplying water service and improvements to the Town’s water system.  The water meters are read every two months and are billed per unit.  If the property is vacant, water will be billed unless the service is shut off by Town employees.
