2021 SEWER AVERAGING

CORINTH, TX, November 4, 2021 – It's time to save money on your sewer bill! Each year, residential monthly water consumption is measured and averaged to establish the monthly sewer charge for each customer for the upcoming year.   The sewer averaging process evaluates usage during the months of November, December, January, and February because outdoor water demand is typically lower.  By conserving water during this period, you can control your monthly sewer charge! 

Why this time of year? 

Traditionally, the four lowest water consumption months for residential customers are during the winter months.  Most residential customers typically do not water their lawns during the winter months, so the majority of the water used during this time enters the sanitary sewer.

How does it work?

The winter month with the highest consumption is discarded, and the remaining three months' consumption is averaged together to reflect the resident's average consumption.  Each resident's sewer charge is based on their average consumption that is determined during the Sewer Averaging months.  The bills due in April will reflect the new sewer charge, which will be in effect for twelve months.

How can I lower my bill?

Residential sewer charges are based on each resident's consumption, you can lower your sewer charge by not watering the lawn or filling a pool during the winter months.  Keeping water usage as low as possible during the winter months will pay off for the next twelve months!
