Rates for Service

Your bill is comprised of a fixed facility charge, the consumption rate and when applicable, a purchased water adjustment charge. The fixed facility charge is monthly in addition to your monthly water usage. Included in the fixed facility charge are costs for labor, insurance, taxes and return on investment.   

  The consumption rate is for the actual measured water usage on the water meter. This is the amount you have control over. Your bill can vary greatly from your neighbors depending on how many people live in your house and how you use water in your home. We estimate that a family of 4 will average 8,000-10,000 gallons of water per month for indoor use only. During the summer months, your bill can increase dramatically if you have a sprinkler system or fill a pool. Any amount of seasonal outdoor water use is going to reflect an increase in your bill.   

       Consumption Charge as of July 1, 2024 – All consumers $6.53 per 1,000 gallons 

The state of New Jersey enacted Ch. 443 of the Laws of New Jersey 1983 concerning the periodic testing of public water supplies which established a water tax of $0.01 per 1,000 gallons of water. This tax is reflected and included in the above rates.
