2024 Sewer Rates for WSUD
These rates went into effect January 01, 2024
The cost-of-service for sewer utility services is determined by equitable cost recovery in proportion to the demands each customer class or entity places on the system based on functions of service and known or assumed cost causation.
In City Charge
Per City of Port Orchard Ordinance No. 051-22, the City charges WSUD a utility tax based on the total revenue collected by WSUD from customers within the City of Port Orchard. As a customer within the City limits, your billing includes your pro-rata share of WSUD’s cost recovery (“In City Charge”) due to this tax.
Sewer Rates based on Classification
Customer classifications are established as follows:
Single Family Residential shall mean typically mean single family home. This account type is billed bi-monthly and therefore is slightly different than the others. To calculate the billing for these types of accounts it would be the monthly rate times two, multiplied by the number of ERU's.
Multifamily Residential shall typically mean duplexes, triplexes and properties with accessory dwelling units. To calculate billing for these types of accounts it would be the monthly rate multiplied by the number of ERU's.
Commercial shall mean any non-residential accounts. This includes schools, commercial, industrial and other servable structures engaged in commerce. To calculate billing for these types of accounts it would be the commercial base rate plus the commercial commodity charge per hundred cubic feet of water consumed as measured by the water meter.
