The commodity rate varies based on the amount of water a customer uses each billing cycle. The first 30 units of water (22,440 gallons) are billed at the lowest per-unit rate; water used over that amount is billed at a higher rate because it costs the District more to procure that supply. In addition to covering the cost of water, the commodity rate helps pay for treatment, delivery, and a portion of the District’s fixed operational costs such as system maintenance.
One unit of water = one hundred cubic feet (hcf), or 748 gallons
