Sewage isn't normally metered, but yes.
- Rychard 6y agoIn my experience, sewage is billed based on water usage, which makes sense to me. If you use some water, presumably it has to go somewhere.
- gruez 6y agoWhat if you're just watering your plants?
- treis 6y agoYou usually can get a credit for la large water usage that doesn't go in the drain. Most commonly done for filling swimming pools.
- lostapathy 6y agoHere your max sewer bill is set based on the average water use of 3 winter months. If you go over that in the summer, we assume it’s mostly landing in the yard and not the sewer.
- LanceH 6y agoOur sewage bill is determined by the lowest two months of water usage from Dec-Feb plus a base cost.
- bluedino 6y agoThey’re separate in a lot of places
- MertsA 6y agoNot directly but the reason why you pay such a high water usage rate is because it's indirectly metering sewage usage. That's why you can arrange for bulk water delivery via fire hydrants for a cheaper usage rate for e.g. filling up a pool.
