Summer Sprinkling
A program is in place in our computer system which allows for summer sprinkling of lawns, washing of cars, filling pools, etc. This water does not go to the sewer treatment plant and therefore, the customer is not charged sewage on this water usage. The computer keeps track of and averages normal winter (Jan-April of the current year) usage. During the summer months, the computer takes off sewage charges above your winter average. Summer Sprinkling runs from May 1st thru August 31st usage.
