Water Rates
RWU is committed to
serving all its customers with all the water they can beneficially use,
at a reasonable pressure and delivery rate. Since we are rate supported,
our water and sewer rates must generate enough revenue to operate the
system and retire our outstanding indebtedness, plus fund a modest
depreciation fund. Good clean water costs money. By conserving water, you
conserve money.
Deposits
A
deposit is required before water service may be established. We are
sorry, we cannot accept letters of credit as a substitute. Deposits are
nonnegotiable and cannot be waived. The deposit schedule is as follows:
| Type of water service |
Amount |
| Rental (apartment or house) | $50.00 |
| Home Owner | $20.00 |
| Commercial (5/8 inch service) | $50.00 |
| Large Commercial | $250.00 |
|
See additional fees below.
|
Deposits are refundable when
the customer of record leaves our service. Any amount due will be applied
against the deposit. If the deposit covers your last bill, you will be
sent a check for the remaining amount. If not, you will be billed for the
amount due. If you leave Rogers and close your account, and you return to
Rogers, a new deposit will be required.
Service Charges
There is a
minimal, non-refundable charge for setting up service for all new
accounts, or to have a service call at your address. Set up charges
inside city limits is $10.00, outside city limits being $15.00. Any additional
charge for after hours, weekends, and holidays will be assessed.
General Fees
There are
certain fees that must be collected in order to provide a high level of
service while controlling our rate structure. These are one-time, non
refundable fees collected prior to the establishment of service. These
are $25.00 for water service, and $30.00 for sewer service. If you transfer
your service to another address on our system you will not have to pay
these fees again.
Monthly Water Rates
Your water
bill reflects the amount of water that was used during the last billing
period, usually one month. Seniors are entitled to a reduced minimum bill rate.
