WATER & SEWER RATES

Outside District rates are the above rates plus 50% ($5.84 per unit)

Each water & sewer customer's bill consists of three charges: (1) a charge for water. (2) a charge ofr operations and maintenance of our District's sewer collection lines (Sewer Use) and (3) a charge for sewate treatment (Sanitary Sewer) which is forwarded to the Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District.  The charges of the Sanitary Sewer District are billed by this utility each month, but the Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District determines this rate.  This charge is for the treatment and transportation of the sewage after it leaves our collection lines.  The Sanitary Sewer District rate will be charged at $3.62 per unit for the number of units used plus a base charge, based on meter size, per bill.  (see chart below).  

Custsomers outside our district with sewer only will be charged $0.96 per unit on our sewer charge and $3.62 on the Sanitary Sewer charge plus a base charge, based on meter size, per bill (see chart below).  

Customers outside the district with Metropolitan Water but only connected to Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer will be billed at $5.09 per unit plus a base charge, based on meter size (see chart below).

The cost of per unit  (750 gallons) for water is $3.89.  The cost for maintanance of our sewer lines, (shown on bill as sewer use), is $0.64 poer unit.

On our commercial accounts inside the district using in excess of 500 units per month, the rate for water changes from $3.89 to $3.69 per unit in excess of 500 in a one month period.  

The net amount shown on your bill is the amount due on or before the 10th of the month.  Between the 11th and 20th of the month, the gross amount is due.  Net for commercial accounts is due the 15th of the month.

A  $20.00 non-payment fee will be added to the bill after the 20th of the month and service will be discontinued on the 21st or the next working day if the 21st in on a weekend.  When a customer's water service is shut off for non-poayment,  the District requires that the customer pay all delinquent bills before service is restored.

In the event that it becomes necessary to remove the meter to secure payment for a past due bill, an additional fee of $25.00 will be assessed to restore service.
