The Wastewater Industry
To better explain sewer-related terms, such as tap and impact fees and wastewater treatment plant, we’ve created this Sewer Definitions page
BCSS Rate Structure
Since BCSS doesn’t provide water service, and cannot monitor thousands of water meters throughout the county, we charge flat rates for sewer service. Sewer treatment fees, impact fees, tap fees, etc. are based on various factors. BCSS maintains and pays for every aspect of our sewer system, wastewater treatment plants, equipment, employees, etc.
Unlike most city utility companies, we are not supplemented by government funding and tax dollars. It is important to consider that transporting wastewater away from properties is a crucial service, and oftentimes fees for luxuries such as cable, internet and cell phone services are more expensive than sewer service fees.
Feedback
Please feel free to send us feedback anytime- We greatly value your comments so that we can use it to work towards continually improving.
