What are the Current Water Rates?
Please note that conservation is strongly encouraged. The rate for
water use goes up with higher usage as an incentive to conserve, but for
the most part each member is relying on a good faith effort of the rest of
the members not to use excessive amounts of water. These rates are not an
invitation to use excessive amounts of water.
What is considered an excessive amount of water depends on many factors
and will vary depending on the season, the water use pattern and many other
factors.
