Salt Lake City Public Utilities staff described how sewer charges are calculated and why winter consumption is used as a basis for flow charges.
"The sewer portion of your bill includes a monthly service fee and a flow charge, often referred to as average winter consumption or AWC," the presenter said, adding that the service fee is $3.70 per dwelling unit.
