In addition to the right to serve rate, residents will be charged per gallon used monthly at the following rate:
¾” $.00302/gal used |
1” $.00324/gal used |
1½” $.00344/gal used |
2” $.00404/gal used |
Example: Account 150 has a ¾” service and used 4280 gal. in the month of June. The bill would be figured as follows: 4280 gal X .00302/gal + $61.00 right to serve fee = $73.93 will be billed for water.
The Town of Rye has identified customers with multiple efficiency units receiving water through a single meter associated with the property. The principle connection will be charged based on meter size rate, plus usage, AND plus an addition fee of $40.00 for each efficiency unit on the property that is served by the property’s single meter.
Sewer:
Sewer charges are determined yearly for each customer by averaging individual water consumption for the months of December, January, and February and adding the right to serve sewer fee of $29.64/month. The months of December, January, and February are used to determine the average water consumption because water usage is generally at the lowest per individual customer.
To meet the financial needs of providing wastewater treatment to the residents of the Town of Rye, the following right to serve rate and consumption averages fees are proposed:
All customers will be charged a flat fee of $29.64 per month for right to serve for wastewater treatment. Additionally, customers will be charged for the average usage as follows:
3/4“and 1” .005/gal of the average water consumption of Dec., Jan., Feb.
1½” and 2” .00697/gal of the average water consumption of Dec., Jan., Feb.
Example: Account 150 has a ¾” meter and averaged 2160 gal. of water consumed for the months of Dec., Jan., and Feb. The bill would be figured as follows: 2160 gal X .005/gal + $29.64 right to serve fee = $40.44. Account 150 would know their sewer fee would be $40.44 each month for the entire year.
The Town of Rye has identified customers with multiple efficiency units that are connected to the town sewer main through one connection. The principle connection will be charged based on meter size rate, plus usage average, AND plus an addition fee of $15.00 for each efficiency unit on the property that is served by the property’s single sewer main connection.
For sewer billing purposes, water consumption for Dec., Jan., and Feb. will be recalculated yearly in the month of February. The new water and sewer fees will appear in March billing of each year.
