Drought Surcharge

The Drought Surcharges aims to encourage the highest using customers to make meaningful reductions in use during advanced stages of drought. The surcharge is based on the dollar cost value impact of high use on the water system during drought periods.

The Stage 3 surcharge of $10.37 per thousand gallons will take effect for water use above 20,000 gallon a month. In Stage 4, that threshold drops to 12,000 gallons.
