What is sewer bill?

A sewer bill is a monthly or quarterly bill that property owners or tenants receive for the use of the municipal sewer system. The bill is typically based on the amount of water used by the property, as the assumption is that the more water used, the more wastewater is being produced and therefore more strain on the sewer system.

The sewer bill covers the costs of maintaining, repairing, and operating the sewer system, as well as treating wastewater before it is discharged back into the environment. The rate of the sewer bill can vary depending on the location, size of the property, and amount of water used.

Sewer bills are separate from water bills, which cover the cost of providing clean water to the property. Some municipalities may combine water and sewer charges into one bill, while others may bill them separately. It is important to pay sewer bills on time to avoid late fees and potential service interruptions.
