Water and Sewer Rates
Water rates (PDF) consist of a monthly base service charge, which is determined by the size of the water meter, and a monthly quantity usage charge, which is based on the amount of water used.
Scottsdale Water has a tiered water rate structure under which the price you pay for water increases as the volume consumed increases. This provides a pricing incentive for customers to use water more efficiently since higher-volume usage, usually associated with using treated drinking water for extensive outdoor watering, is charged at a higher rate.
Sewer rates (PDF) consist of a monthly base fee, also determined by water meter size, and a monthly volumetric charge calculated by multiplying 90 percent of the customer's average consumption during the low-watering winter months of the prior December, January and February.
