SCHEDULE OF SEWER FEES AND CHARGES EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023

The New Shoreham Sewer and Water Commissions have adopted a rate structure that accounts for variable costs and fixed costs associated with the operational, safety and plant needs.    

Variable costs will be recovered by user fees based on monthly flow and include such costs such as electricity, fuel oil, chemicals, and other materials.  Rates for user fees change quarterly. 

Sewer User Fee Charge per 1,000 Gallons:

January – April $18.02

May  $25.22

June $43.24

July – August $61.26

September $43.24

October  $25.22

November - December $18.02

The monthly customer charge is for the purpose of recovering costs associated with the
facilities’ fixed cost on capital infrastructure (i.e. pump stations, transmission lines, treatment plant mechanics, etc.). The debt service payments are the loan obligations on the capital projects financed through the USDA. These fixed costs are incurred whether or not any water/sewer is used by the consumer.
