Sewer Billing Reform

A bill for an act relating to sewer services provided by a city utility, including establishing procedures for water that does not enter the sewer system.

It creates a framework for metering water that bypasses the sewer system so customers only pay sewer fees for water they actually send to treatment facilities.
