Monthly bill
explained - Not Just A Water Bill
When you refer to the monthly bill you
receive from PGMUD, you probably call it a
“water bill.” But the bill actually includes
charges for sewer and drainage, as well as a
voluntary donation to your local Pecan Grove
VFD. In fact, the cost of water may be the
lowest portion of each month’s bill!
Let’s assume that your family used 10,000
gallons of water for the month. Your bill
for the month would be $52.50. Of that
amount, only $15.00 would be for water and
$3.00 would be for the surface water
conversion fee. The other $34.50 would be
the monthly charge for sewer and drainage
services as well as the voluntary donation
to the Pecan Grove VFD. The cost of garbage
and recycling services is also paid from the
monies collected from District customers.
To encourage water conservation, the cost of
water becomes more expensive the more you
use each month. Pecan Grove MUD charges a
minimum monthly charge of $11.00 per single
family residential connection, plus a per
gallon charge for water usage as shown
below: (Rates effective January 1st, 2008)
- From 0 to 6,000 gallons $11.00 flat
- From 6,001 to 10,000 gallons $1.00 per
1,000 gallons
- From 10,001 to 15,000 gallons $1.50
per 1,000 gallons
- From 15,001 to 20,000 gallons $1.75
per 1,000 gallons
- From 20,001 to 30,000 gallons $2.25
per 1,000 gallons
- 30,001 gallons or more $2.50 per 1,000
gallons
- Surface Water Conversion Fee $0.30 per
1,000 gallons
The sewer rate is a flat rate of $27.50 per
month. Unlike some water districts, your
sewer rate does not increase based upon the
amount of water you used during the billing
cycle.
On the left side of your monthly bill is a
peach colored box that contains information
pertinent to District residents. Please make
sure to read it each month to keep informed
about your District.
