Water

Water is metered and calculated in 1,000-gallon increments. The water meters are read monthly from April through October.

If residents find they have a water leak, we will give a credit of half of one month’s water usage after the leak has been fixed.

November through March the water is billed at an estimated usage rate. The estimated usage during these months is based off of the previous winter’s water usage, if that history is available, or by the number of occupants in the home if no history is available.

Backflow devices are required to be installed and tested on a regular basis on all irrigation, fire prevention, and any other cross-connections.

Periodically, our technicians need to come by and check your water lines. Usually, they will attempt to let you know they are there to help maintain quality service.

The City does not read the water meters from November through March. Instead, an estimated read is used throughout the winter months. In May, each customer account is reviewed and the sewer billing is adjusted for the year based on your winter water usage. * On your June utility bill, your sewer rate may go up or down depending on how much water you used during the previous winter.

Sewer

The sewer in the City of Rexburg is not metered. The sewer usage is based off of an average of the water usage from November – April. The sewer usage is set in May and used until the new rates are figured in April. If no history is available, the sewer rate is based off of how many occupants are in the home.
