Water/sewer charge question
Just trying to understand our monthly bill. Last month we were in RI for the whole billing cycle. Our Marion County water/sewer charge was $76.86. Water charge base was $12.75 while water charge use was $7.14. Sewer charge base was $22.53 while sewer charge use was $34.44. Since virtually all water use was for irrigation, I guess I am paying a sewer charge on that. Does that make sense? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Check your actual billing dates. In Sumter mine goes from one month into the next. My last bill was 4/10-5/9. If yours doesn't work that way I'd suggest calling your service provider and get an answer.

The service period was 3/14 to 4/12, while we were in RI. I don’t believe we use the retention ponds for watering up here so I guess your sewer charge would be based on your water usage even though the water usage (irrigation) doesn’t have much to do with the sewers. Is it different down south where you have two water lines coming in? I would think that you wouldn’t be charged for sewer for your irrigation. Am I correct in my thinking?

I agree call your provider if you didn't find these things out before buying like most do.

I think I’ve got it now. On the back of the bill it says that sewer usage is based on water consumption and is capped at 6,000 gallons. So I would imagine my bill, especially when we are not here, would be higher being north of 466 as opposed to south of 466.

Do You turn off your water when You leave for any extended time? If NO, then You could be experiencing the dreaded "mystery flush" !

What is a “mystery flush?” Or my being naive and it was meant as a joke?

A slow leak in your toilet. Every couple of years you will have to replace the flapper as it will eventually leak.

Lawn irrigation water stinks because water in the pipes laying in this heat grows bacteria. Lawn irrigation water south of 466 all comes from the retention ponds which I think is a very good idea.
