Each property pays a base fee based on the size of its water meter. The water charge on the bill reflects the volume of water used, as measured by the meter. This fee covers the cost of delivering water to homes, including operation and maintenance of the water meter, water tower, pumping stations, reservoirs, drinking‑water treatment plants, and the distribution system. You can sign up for our Smart Water Meter Portal to track daily, weekly, and monthly consumption, monitor seasonal usage changes, and receive leak notifications.
