Farmington Hills explains July rate change to water and sewer bills
Summary
The city said it replaced the minimum water and sewer fee with a fixed "ready to serve" charge effective July 1 and tied bills more closely to actual usage; customers may see lower bills if they use less water and higher bills if they use more.
City presenters explained a billing change that took effect July 1: the minimum water and sewer fee has been eliminated and replaced with a fixed "ready to serve" charge intended to cover system maintenance costs. The city said future bills will be more closely based on actual water use, which could lower bills for customers who use less water and raise bills for heavier users.
Officials urged customers to visit the City of Farmington Hills website for more information and for questions about individual bills. No specific dollar amounts, rate tables, or examples were provided in the announcement.
