Wastewater Calculation Approaching
Fountain Sanitation District would like to remind customers that the wastewater billing calculation period is approaching. Rates will be adjusted during the first quarter of 2024 by evaluating average water usage during the months of December, January, and February. The Wastewater User Charge for existing residential users will be based on a minimum 2,000 gallons average winter water use volume for each customer during the billing periods for December, January and February or the actual use volume metered, whichever is greater will be the established Customer Volume Charge. The calculation will then be billed for the following 12 months. For example, a customer using an average of 5,870 gallons of water would be billed $47.16 per month.
Example: (5,870 x .00686) + $6.89 = $47.16
New customers will be assigned a default monthly water average that is equal to the median winter water use for all residential customers. Currently the water average is 4,280 gallons per month. Example: (4,280 x.00686) + $6.89 = $36.25 per month

KNOW WHAT'S BELOW!

No matter the type of project – installing a mailbox, putting in a fence, planting trees or shrubbery, building a patio or deck, or excavating a new garden area – always call 811! The service is free and it's the law. Calling 811 a few days prior to digging gives representatives time to mark the appropriate utility lines prior to starting your project, which keeps you and your neighbors safe.

Wastewater Calculation Approaching
Fountain Sanitation District would like to remind customers that the wastewater billing calculation period is approaching. Rates will be adjusted during the first quarter of 2023 by evaluating average water usage during the months of December, January, and February.
Established residential customer charges are determined by multiplying the average monthly winter water usage by the appropriate rate and adding the customer service charge. The calculation will then be billed for the following 12 months. For example, a customer using an average of 5,870 gallons of water would be billed $47.16 per month.
Example: (5,870 x .00686) + $6.89 = $47.16
New customers will be assigned a default monthly water average that is equal to the median winter water use for all residential customers. Currently the water average is 4,280 gallons per month.
