Water
Water charges are applied in two ways: a volume charge and a fixed charge dependent on meter size.
The rate structure used to bill residential water customers is referred to as a conservation rate. This structure provides the lowest rate to customers who use the least amount of water. Our conservation rate features three rate tiers that increase in cost after each of the following consumption thresholds are met: first 2,000 gallons used, next 8,000 gallons used, and over 10,000 gallons used per month.
Please keep in mind, that while our rates are set per thousand gallons, you are billed per hundred gallons of water used.
Allouez Sanitary Sewage
The Allouez Sanitary Sewage rates cover the cost of operating and maintaining the sanitary sewer infrastructure within the Village. This charge is applied in two ways: a volume charge and a fixed charge dependent on meter size.
NEW Water (GBMSD) Sanitary Sewage
The NEW Water Sanitary Sewage rates are set to recover the cost of wastewater treatment charges billed to the Village by NEW Water. This charge is applied in two ways: a volume charge and a fixed charge dependent on meter size.
