Here is a sneak peak at the Total Utility Bill (water, wastewater, and stormwater) graphics in the 2015 AE2S Nexus North Central Utility Rate Survey. The values reported in the following tables illustrate the monthly residential charge for a bill equating to 6,000 gallons of water and wastewater usage. Figures 1 through 5 represent the reported results for communities serving less than 5,000 people in alphabetical order, by State and Figure 6 illustrates the reported charges for 6,000 gallons of residential water service per month for the Regional Water System respondents.
