CHANGES TO BILLING
Beginning in July 2026, the City and District will no longer issue direct bills for sewer services. Instead, the service charges will be collected on your property tax bill. Commercial and industrial customers will receive mailed statements of their annual sewer charges in July. Businesses may be eligible for an adjustment by meeting appeals criteria. The sewer charges appeal form will be made available when statements are issued.
