Since sewer usage can't be metered, sewer charges are based on your monthly metered water use, up to an established maximum. Each April, the City calculates your maximum residential sewer charge based on your metered water consumption from your four winter bills dated December, January, February, and March. Your upper limit sewer charge, the most you will be charged in any month during the following 12 months, is established by using the highest water consumption of those four winter bills. Sewer surcharge outside City of Tallahassee = 50%.
