Residential Rates

The District has adopted water budget-based rates to incentivize conservation, and supply affordable water to each customer for efficient indoor and outdoor use. Water budgets are designed to provide water for these uses, based on the household and property characteristics of each customer, at different pricing levels.

Rate Structure

The District's budget-based rate structure applies to residential customers and reflects a 3-tier rate structure based on monthly usage. Commodity rates cover cost that vary based upon the amount of water delivered.

Tier 1

Indoor Use Budget

  • Charged at the lowest rate
  • Based on the estimated number of occupants
Tier 1 Calculation Formula

Tier 2

Outdoor Use Budget

  • Charged at slightly higher rate
  • This tier budget changes with the weather by increasing during warmer months and decreasing with cooler months.
Tier 2 Calculation Formula

Tier 3

Usage above tiers 1 & 2

  • Tier 3 is water used above your monthly budget from Tiers 1 and 2. It is considered inefficient water use
  • This tier is charged at the highest rate*

Revenue from Tier 3 is used to fund conservation programs to assist customers to reduce inefficient use.
