Utility Rates:
Secondary irrigation water service is a type of water supply that is intended for outdoor water usage, such as watering lawns, shrubs, trees, or gardens. This type of water service is separate from the potable water supply that is used for drinking, cooking, and bathing, and is considered non-culinary or non-potable water. The Secondary Irrigation rate is 60% of the culinary water rates as shown above. Secondary irrigation water may be treated as reused culinary water or untreated well water, depending on the source of the water supply. However, it is important to note that secondary irrigation water is not suitable for consumption or other indoor uses. While secondary irrigation water is currently only available in certain parts of the city, there is ongoing effort to expand its availability wherever graphically it is feasible.   Wastewater utility service is a type of public utility that provides collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater, also known as sewage, from homes, businesses, and industries. The wastewater is transported through a network of underground pipes to the City’s Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant where it is cleaned and processed to remove harmful contaminants and pollutants. The treated wastewater is then discharged into the nearby Virgin River and/or used for other beneficial purposes, such as secondary irrigation or industrial processes. The goal of wastewater utility service is to protect public health and the environment by ensuring that wastewater is properly managed and disposed of in a safe and responsible manner. The Wastewater charge is a flat fee for residential customers for the maintaining of the wastewater collection and regional treatment system.   Residential garbage service is provided by Washington County Solid Waste District (WCSWD), but the city has been contracted to collect and remit the fees to the WCSWD. This fee covers two (2) garbage containers per household. Additional containers can be obtained through www.wcsw.org for an additional fee billed directly to the customer by the WCSWD.   Residential curbside recycling (BluCan) service is provided by Washington County Solid Waste District (WCSWD), but the city has been contracted to collect and remit the fees to the WCSWD. This fee covers one (1) recycling container per household. Additional containers can be obtained through www.wcsw.org for an additional fee billed directly to the customer by the WCSWD.   Fee for maintaining and improving the City’s storm drain system (handling of storm water and runoff in the city.) It is federal mandate which now requires cities as large as St. George to have a system in place to manage this type of runoff. The storm drainage fee is charged per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). A resident unit is equivalent to one household. The fee goes to operating, improving, and maintaining the city’s storm water drainage systems.   The WCWCD Surcharge Fee is collected by the city and remitted to Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWCD). Pays for regional water system (pipelines, water treatment and distribution of water) to the city. The surcharge is imposed for each water meter that provides services in the city. This requirement is a result of the city signing a Regional Water Supply Agreement with the WCWCD.     Fees are collected by the city and remitted to Washington County Flood Control Authority for maintaining and improving the regional drainage and river restoration projects. Flood Control Authority plans, mitigates, and funds regional water way flood control projects within St George, Washington, Santa Clara, and Washington County.   The following is an official notice regarding the proposed WCWCD Excess Water Use Surcharge, which has been approved by the Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWCD). As of January 1, 2023, existing water customers will be subject to an excess water use surcharge of one dollar up to ten dollars ($1.00 - $10.00) for each thousand gallons of water used that exceeds the designated monthly demand threshold for their.  Effective January 1, 2023, existing water customers will pay an excess water use surcharge in the amount of one dollar ($1.00) per each thousand gallons of water used that exceeds the designated monthly demand threshold for volume of water per meter size as shown in the table below. The typical resident has a 3/4” water meter size, with a monthly demand threshold of 36,000 gallons.   The monthly water use threshold is based on the date the users water impact fee was paid to the WCWCD.
