Pumpage and Surface Water Rates effective 1/1/2023

Groundwater – $3.95/1,000 gallons and
Surface Water – $4.35/1,000 gallons

The West Authority fee that appears on residents’ water bill is charged for water pumped by the utility districts (well pumpage fee) and for surface water (surface water fee) provided to them by the West Authority. The utility districts in turn charge their individual customers for the water they use, and are permitted to modify the fee charged them by the West Authority to cover such things as leaks in their system, fire hydrant use, etc.

These fees generate funds needed to design and construct the infrastructure necessary to deliver surface water to the neighborhoods in order to comply with the Subsidence District’s phased mandates.
