How these numbers are made
- Water: city inside-limits rate effective Jan 1, 2026: $21.21 base plus the $5.50 capital improvement fee in the city code, then $0.339 per 100 gallons ($3.39 per 1,000), all gallons billed.
- Sewer: $10.82 base plus the $9 capital improvement fee as stated on the city's wastewater page ('$9 Capital Improvement Project Fees' on the sewer use bills; the sewer chapter of the code could not be loaded, so no code schedule confirms it) and $0.825 per 100 gallons. Primacy fees, PILOT and sales tax on the bill are not modelled.
- Property tax: 2025 Webster County levies per $100 for the City of Marshfield row (Marshfield R-1 school, Marshfield Fire District) on 19% of the Census median market value; no flat charges found.
- Electric: Webster Electric Cooperative $36.00 monthly availability plus $0.07933/kWh; the page also notes a 2% increase beginning April 1 that is not modelled. Gas: Summit General Residential $15 plus distribution and purchased gas rate, divided by 1.023 therms per Ccf (EIA Missouri 2025 heat content).
- Trash: residents hire private haulers (KY3, April 2022); no city rate is published, so trash is excluded. Typical electric use is the EIA Missouri residential average (1,001 kWh/month).
- Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
