Volumetric Wastewater Pricing
Volumetric pricing for sanitary sewer service in California would save water and money

Fact Sheet
Volumetric sewer pricing is the simple concept of billing a customer for the volume of water discharged to the sewer based on the water meter reading -- water the customer actually uses as opposed to a flat charge. The less water a customer uses, the less the bill will be.
