Ensuring fair and equitable water and wastewater rates for non-resident customers of city utilities

Of the 199 cities that provide water service outside their city limits, 23 charge the same rates inside and outside the city. The other 176 charge rate differentials ranging from 4% to 176% more for water service. Rates for sewer service follow a similar pattern. Includes cost of 5,000 gallons of water and wastewater by county and water/sewer system.
