Water and sewer charge calculator

Combined water charge is calculated as V × (r_water + r_sewer). Use the stated system boundary and matching input units.

Units
C=V×(rwater+rsewer)C = V \times \left(r_{\text{water}} + r_{\text{sewer}}\right)

Worked example

Given

  • VV = 850 1000 gal
  • rwaterr_{\text{water}} = 4.5 $/1000 gal
  • rsewerr_{\text{sewer}} = 6.2 $/1000 gal
C=850×(4.5+6.2)=9,095C = 850 \times \left(4.5 + 6.2\right) = 9{,}095
