Effective July 1, 2013:
On May 21, 2013, the Pelham City Council passed Ordinance 156-6 changing how residential sewer use charges are assessed. Beginning July 1, 2013, residential sewer use charges will be based upon the customer’s water use history for the months of October through March (six months).
For new customers, the initial sewer use charge shall be determined by the actual water consumption for the first billing cycle. Thereafter, the use charge shall be billing cycle to billing cycle until the customer has acquired an October-March water use history from which to base the sewer use charge.
This new assessment practice does not affect water rates or how commercial sewer use charges are assessed.
