Here are examples of how to calculate your water bill:
Residential Example #1   
Base Charge   $5.00
Present Reading: 1029 thousand gallons  
Less Previous Reading: 1009 thousand gallons  
Equals Total Usage: 20 thousand gallons  
20 thousand gallons is your three-month water usage    
The first 20 thousand gallons are billed at $4.00 per thousand gallons so the full 20 thousand gallons will be billed at the $4.00 rate.    
20,000 / 1,000 20 x $4.00 $80.00
     
Your total bill is   $85.00
Residential Example #2 
Base Charge   $5.00
Present Reading: 934 thousand gallons  
Less Previous Reading: 882 thousand gallons  
Equals Total Usage: 52 thousand gallons  
52 thousand gallons is your three-month water usage    

The first 20 thousand gallons are billed at $4.00 per thousand gallons = $80.00

   
20,000 / 1,000 20 x $4.00 $80.00
The next 10 thousand gallons are billed at $6.00 per thousand gallons = $60.00    
10,000 / 1,000 10 x $6.00 $60.00

The next 10 thousand gallons are billed at $7.00 per thousand gallons = $70.00

   
10,000 / 1,000 10 x $7.00 $70.00

The next 10 thousand gallons are billed at $9.00 per thousand gallons = $90.00

   
10,000 / 1,000 10 x $9.00 $90.00
The final 2 thousand gallons are billed at $11.00 per thousand gallons = $22.00    
2,000 / 1,000 2 x $11.00 $22.00
Your total bill is   $327.00
Residential Example #3
Base Charge   $5.00
Present Reading: 1059 thousand gallons  
Less Previous Reading: 995 thousand gallons  
Equals Total Usage: 64 thousand gallons  
64 thousand gallons is your three-month water usage    

The first 20 thousand gallons are billed at $4.00 per thousand gallons = $80.00

   
20,000 / 1,000 20 x $4.00 $80.00
The next 10 thousand gallons are billed at $6.00 per thousand gallons = $60.00    
10,000 / 1,000 10 x $6.00 $60.00

The next 10 thousand gallons are billed at $7.00 per thousand gallons = $70.00

   
10,000 / 1,000 10 x $7.00 $70.00

The next 10 thousand gallons are billed at $9.00 per thousand gallons = $90.00

   
10,000 / 1,000 10 x $9.00 $90.00

The next 10 thousand gallons are billed at $11.00 per thousand gallons = $110.00

   

10,000 / 1,000

10 x $11.00 $110.00
The final 4 thousand gallons are billed at $13.00 per thousand gallons = $52.00    
4,000 / 1,000 4 x $13.00 $52.00
Your total bill is   $467.00

Note: You cannot calculate your bill and submit a payment based on your reading. Official bills mailed out by the District are the only means acceptable for bill calculation and bill payment. Any payments made toward an account will be held as a credit until such time that the billing period for your account is calculated, posted and mailed. Bills will be based on District meter reading cycles and readings from our meter reading personnel only.
