Wastewater Usage and Rates

Fees are scheduled to increase in 2023

Wastewater (sewer) quantity use and monthly charges for residential customers are billed using their winter Average Water Consumption (AWC). AWC is based on average water use during the December, January and February utility billing months and provides a basis for calculating your wastewater charges during the rest of the year.

The Town averages the use shown on these three months of billings to estimate the amount of average monthly water used inside each home which then enters the sanitary sewer system, as wastewater. This winter usage determines the monthly wastewater
usage for each month of the year and is calculated annually, every March.

The new base rate for residential consumers with metered Town-provided water service will increase to $24.45 per month (from $22.65) for wastewater along with the average winter consumption increasing to $14.60 (from $13.50) per 1,000 gallons. Using AWC, the typical residential household is Lyons is billed for 3,000 gallons of wastewater monthly.
