LET’S TALK ABOUT UNITS!

The concept of units may feel confusing, so let’s try to clarify the picture!

The first thing to keep in mind: Is there only one water service line coming into the building, or more? For every service line, there is an account. This determines what rate is applicable.

Here are some examples:

SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS AND APARTMENTS

A single-family dwelling (usually one water service line) is a unit, hence the monthly fee of $68.75 for Water and Sewer services.

A house (one water service line) that also has a rental property (Ex: basement apartment) is considered as TWO units fed from the same line.

This translates into ONE ACCOUNT with TWO UNITS, with a monthly fee of $54.75 for each unit, for a total of $109.50.

For multi-unit Apartment buildings, refer to the table above to find what rate applies to you.

DUPLEXES AND CONDOS

A duplex is a two-family dwelling that has two units in the same building, with each unit having its own water service line.

This means TWO ACCOUNTS of ONE UNIT EACH, with each owner receiving separate monthly bills for $68.75.

The same logic applies to multi-family condos.
