The monthly residential flat rate service charge is $76.94, plus a Regulatory Cost Charge of 0.569% of the billing amount.
For residential customers with flat rate (non-metered) service, the standard monthly charge is $76.94. This rate applies to single-family homes and individual dwelling units.

What this covers: The flat rate covers your water service for the month, regardless of how much water you use (within reasonable limits - you cannot waste water). It includes:
- Water supply and distribution
- System maintenance
- Customer service and billing
Multiple dwelling units: If you have multiple dwelling units served by a single connection, the rate is multiplied by the number of units. For example:
- Duplex (2 units): $76.94 × 2 = $153.88/month
- 4-unit building: $76.94 × 4 = $307.76/month
When metered rates apply instead: New multi-family dwellings and commercial structures typically require metered service at different rates.
