Wastewater and sewer calculation
LHHCWD provides potable water; wastewater service is normally handled separately by the applicable sanitation or municipal agency. Sewer may be calculated from actual water use, a winter average, a residential cap, or a fixed equivalent-unit charge. Customers should review the separate sewer statement and ask that agency for its current formula instead of applying a percentage to the LHHCWD water bill.
Meter and infrastructure notes
LHHCWD states that meters are read as close to monthly as practicable and that customers receive a bill for the preceding month. The public materials do not specify AMI, AMR, hourly transmission, or a route calendar. Customers should use the bill's read dates and ask the District to identify the exact meter technology and leak-alert capability for the premise.
