Ways to pay less

Use less water from November to April to lower summer sewer bills. Residential sewer rates are recalculated every year from your average water use from November to April, and that winter average is your sewer rate for May to October, so summer watering, car washing and pool filling do not raise the sewer part of the bill. How: Conserve water from November to April; questions to City Utility Billing at 541-367-5128.
