WPC Sewer Rates

WPC bills for sewer usage based on water consumption.
That water consumption is measured by Huntsville Utilities through the customer's water meter.

WPC uses the same water consumption figures to calculate sewer charges.

Sewer rates per 1,000 gallons of water as set by City Ordinance are:

* Note:  The rate for Single Family Residential customers reflects a 15% discount from the standard rate.  This discount is provided to account for residential water used outdoors which does not enter the sewer system, which averages 15%.

A typical single-family residential customer will use around 7,500 gallons of water in a month, resulting in a sewer bill of $28.65.

Sewer usage charges are truly an environmental bargain.
Think of it this way:  how much is it worth to you to make just one gallon of the shower, toilet, or kitchen sink wastewater that you generated today clean enough to put back in our local waterways... 
the places we swim in, fish from, and get our drinking water from?
  Five dollars?
  One dollar?
  A quarter?
How about less than half a penny!
Yes, at our current sewer rates, WPC cleanses Huntsville's wastewater for just about four-tenths of one cent per gallon.
