YOUR WATER BILL

Your water bill is only one part of the Madison Municipal Services bill that is sent every six months.  The average six-month residential Madison Municipal Services bill as of June 2012 is $310.13, and includes the following:

  • Water and sewer meter charges
  • Water use (metered water consumption)
  • Sewer use
  • Landfill remediation
  • Storm sewer
  • Public fire protection

The cost for 1,000 gallons of water is $2.81 and for sewer $2.33. Overall use in the city in 2011 was 102.31 gallons per person per day, though less for residential accounts—65.2 gallons per person per day.
