How to Calculate the Metered Utility Charges

Charge Type

Calculations

Water

The water is charged calculated by taking the water consumption in cubic metres multiplied by the water consumption rate.

consumption x water rate = water charge

Sewer

The sewer charge is based on 80% of the water consumption in cubic metres. The charge is calculated by taking 80% of water consumption multiplied by the sewer rate.

consumption x 80% x sewer rate = sewer charge

Meter Base

The base charge is used to pay for meter reading, billing process, routine maintenance and replacement of the meter at the end of its life cycle. This fee varies depending on the size of the meter and is prorated for the period.

Annual meter base charge / 3 = meter base charge

 See the Rate Schedule.
