City of La Grange Winter Averaging
As a reminder to customers, the City of La Grange will once again be doing the winter averaging of sewer rates. This will be based on your water consumption used during the months of December, January, and February. The city will add the total amount of water consumption used during these months and divide by three. Each customer’s sewer bill will then be calculated on this amount for the next twelve months. Remember, if you have a leak, repair it quickly, otherwise your sewer bill will be high for twelve months.
