| Since sewer usage can't be metered, sewer charges are based on your water use. Each year, the City calculates your residential sewer charge based on your metered water consumption from the four months of December through March. Your upper limit sewer charge, the most you will be charged in any month during the following 12 months, is established by using the second highest water consumption during those four months.
