The Town uses a tiered structure for determining rates. Your monthly bill will vary depending on how much water you use. The more water you use, the more you will pay. The less water you use, the less you will pay.

The water and sewage rates below are effective October 1, 2026.

For homes, the base charge for water will be $19.60 per month and the base fee for sewer service will be $24.64.

Water….$19.60
Sewer….$24.64

Your usage charges for water will be as follows:

(The cost is not cumulative, so if you use 10,000 gallons in one month, the first 4,000 gallons would be billed at $2.45, the second 4,000 gallons would be billed at $3.06 and the last 2,000 gallons would be billed at $4.60.
