Sewer Rates (7/1/2025-6/30/26)
Residents of CSD and ESD pay only for the costs of collection, treatment, and maintenance of the existing wastewater system. Sewer service charges are billed on the annual property tax bill. The charge is calculated based upon a percentage of water use at the property. A pre-determined percentage is subtracted to account for outdoor uses such as landscaping and irrigation.
Future wastewater facilities (pipelines, manholes, pump stations, etc.) will be needed to accommodate future growth of the City. The cost of these future facilities is paid for by property developers through capacity fees, which are fees collected prior to development to account for the added wastewater discharge entering the sewer system. Capacity fees are based upon the amount and strength of wastewater discharged to the system.
