My bill shows zero usage. What am I being billed for?
There is a minimum charge per month. The minimum charge is necessary to cover fixed expenses (those expenses not directly related to flow volume) of the water and sewer system. Examples of fixed costs are mainenance of the infrastructure (water mains, sanitary sewer facilities, pumping stations, etc.), labor, vehicles, regulatory fees, and maintenance of water meters.
