Changes to City Water, Sewer and Garbage Service Billings

The City of Porter is converting from a quarterly billing to a monthly billing for Water, Sewer and Garbage services. Many citizens have requested for this change over the years to help make the services easier to budget and pay for. Rates will not change for any of the services, your overall bill will not increase. The monthly billings will start in January.

 

Additionally, water meter readings for the city's newly installed water meters will begin in April or May as the city awaits billing system upgrades required to bill out readings for the new meters. Below are the city's water billing rates for residential service, once meters are being read, water overage billings will begin for those using more than the minimum billing of 4,500 gallons per month.

 

First 4,500 Gallons: $16.80 per month

Each 1,000 gallon increment over 4,500 gallons: $2.10 per 1,000 gallons

 

Sewer Charges: $15.00 per month

 

Garbage Rates:

35 Gallon Bin: $13.85 per month

65 Gallon Bin: $16.77 per month

95 Gallon Bin: $19.25 per month

All Garbage rates are subject to a 9.75% state tax.
