RE: Water/Sewer Rate Seasonal Watering Question
If I water my yard or need to fill my pool up, can I get a break on the sewer gallon usage charge?
• Yes, Through the months of May, June, July, and August any resident that fills out an “Opt-In” form put out by the City of Beaverton and turns it in personally to the Treasurer at the City Hall, will have their water bills manually averaged going over the past two years comparing summer usage to other months usage. If the average during summer months amounts to 1000 gallons above normal usage from other months, the sewer portion of the resident’s bill will be adjusted down. All water usage will be billed at a metered rate according to the actual amount of water used, but sewer will be based upon an average that may reflect a smaller usage rate.
• Only residents who turn in the “Seasonal Watering Program Opt-In” Form by July 10, 2023 will be eligible for any sewer adjustments.
