Why does a customer pay a base rate and then a graduated amount? The graduated rate begins at 0.
there are also additional charges for maintenance/upkeep, etc
I believe water to be more expensive here than any other state in which I lived.[/QUOTE]

Georgia was the most we ever paid plus whether for the home or irrigation the sewer was charged and at a higher rate than the water.
