Wastewater and sewer calculation

Sewer charges are calculated from metered water use, but the applicable schedule depends on the treatment provider. The City of Elizabethtown schedule has a $14.46 minimum through 2,000 gallons and $6.36 per additional 1,000 gallons; Hardin County sewer has a $30.90 minimum and $10.45 per additional 1,000 gallons.

Meter and infrastructure notes

All meters are read and billed monthly in hundred-gallon increments, with estimated bills based on at least the prior three months when a read cannot be obtained. The District’s FAQ describes both digital and non-digital meters: digital registers display usage and a leak-indicator screen, while analog meters use a red leak dial. The reviewed sources do not identify a utility-wide AMI network or radio transmission schedule.
