Sewer

The City of Eugene adopts and administers wastewater service fees; EWEB is only the billing agent. Fee is a basic MWMC charge of $17.71 per month plus a flow-based fee calculated on the amount of water used.

Other charges on the utility bill

  • Stormwater (medium residential, footprint over 1,000 sf and under 3,000 sf): $24.15 a month
