A low-usage customer’s water and sewer bill (3,000 gallons a month or less) will go up $.77 a month from $45.18 to $45.95. Average users (7,500 gallons a month) will have an increase of $1.55 from $90.98 to $92.53. A high user (12,000 gallons a month) will see an increase of $2.33 from $136.77 to $139.10.
