Did you know that how much water you use right now can affect your wastewater charges for the entire year?
Wastewater averaging season is when your utility calculates your average indoor water use, which becomes the basis for wastewater billing going forward. The good news is that most indoor water use is necessary - showers, laundry, dishes. The bad news is that extra water use during this time, especially from leaks or unnecessary indoor use, can raise your average and stick with you for months.
This is a great time to:
-
Fix leaky faucets and running toilets
-
Be mindful of shower length
-
Run appliances efficiently
A little attention now can mean savings on every bill later. Think of wastewater averaging as a “set it and forget it” moment. What you do today sets the tone for the year ahead.
