Check your current bill for your billing cycle and find out when your wastewater averaging period starts and ends. THE WASTEWATER AVERAGING PERIOD IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!
The readings for wastewater averaging are taken over the course of three winter months. They line up with seasonal low water use, when most households naturally cut back on outdoor water use.
How does Austin Water measure how much you pay for wastewater? We use a method called wastewater averaging! It’s based on meter readings for the clean water you use.
Cut back on outside water use during the wastewater averaging period and lock in the best wastewater rate possible! Runs mid-November through March
Since your wastewater average is calculated when your waster use is typically lowest, you’ll receive the best possible fixed monthly wastewater fee. It won’t go up, regardless of how much water you use the rest of the year.
We average the amount of wastewater you use over three months to get you the best rate possible.
Wastewater contains everything that goes down your drain. It requires treatment to keep Austin’s rivers, creeks, and streams free of pollution.
