Reading Your Utility Billing

How much is a utility bill?

The total cost for water and sewer depends on consumption.  In addition to the consumption charges there are also fixed charges.

Consumption Rate:  $0.75 per hundred gallons after the usage of 6,000 gallons per quarter

Water fixed charge:  $75.00

Sewer fixed charge:  $45.00

Waste/recycle fixed charge:  $62.50

Water infrastructure fixed charge:  $30.00

Sewer infrastructure fixed charge:  $30.00

Note: Commercial business’ and non-metered are charged differently than residential consumers

How is your water bill calculated?

Your water meter measures the water consumed in gallons.  The amount of water your residence or business consumes is multiplied by the current water and sewer rates.

Am I still charged if I don’t use any water?

There is a minimum cost charged to be able to supply water services to your property even if no water is actually used.  This is the fixed charge for the water and sewer system.

If you are going to be absent from your residence for an extended period of time, the service can be inactivated and then reactivated upon your return.  There is an associated cost with this service.  Contact the Town of Radville for further information.

Water Meter Readings

Residents and businesses of the community are asked to provide water meter readings on a quarterly basis.  Notices are provided when readings are required.  The Town of Radville staff read water meters annually in September, but need access to the meter in order to do so.  Please note, if a water meter reading has not been obtained at a location in over a year, the Town of Radville will not be responsible for adjustments or discrepancies.  Regular reading of your water meter allows you to keep your account current and accurate.  Your water bill is then based on your actual consumption instead of an estimate that could result in  inaccurate billing.  If you have had a number of estimated reads, followed by an actual read – you may see a sudden increase in your invoice if your water consumption was higher than what was estimated.  When you provide consistent, actual reads you can monitor your water consumption – this can also help identify any plumbing leaks in toilet or fixtures – saving money.
