Questions about Water Bills
|
|
There have been many questions from residents. So, we wanted to share some information with everyone:
-
Water Bills Late - Water bills were mailed out last week. Adding to this delay, with the weather, the mail has been exceptionally slow.
-
Phone Calls - we are short 2 staff persons at City Hall. Response to calls may take until the next business day.
-
Water Meters - some are reporting fluctuating bills. We encourage you to sign up to have your water meter tested. (see sign up link below)

People often have questions about their water and sewer bills. In Lathrup Village, the City Council approves the water and sewer rates with the adoption of the budget. The new rates take effect on July 1st of each year.
WATER RATES: Some of the costs that are covered in a water bill include: purchasing the water from the Southeastern Oakland County Water Authority (SOCWA), salaries, water system maintenance, water loss, and water main replacement projects. There is also a charge for the water meter, based on the size. The minimal water bill is $50.53.
SEWER RATES: The sewer fund has similar expenses, along with costs for Sewage Disposal Service charged by the Evergreen Farmington Sewage Disposal System (EFSDS) and the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), Capital Expenditures, Sewer System Maintenance, and operating the Sanitary Retention Tank
Below are some of the details.
