Water and Sewer Rates as of July 1, 2009

The following table contains Water System Rates and Sewer System Rates which were approved by the Wixom City Council on July 1, 2009. 

The Combined Rate for water and sewer usage charges remains unchanged at $36.57.

Both water and sewer rates are in units of thousand cubic feet (mcf) of usage, and residential sewer charges are capped at a maximum amount of $45.00 per quarter.  For a variety of reasons, it is convenient for the City to bill customers for water and sewer usage in units of one thousand cubic feet, but you may be more comfortable knowing that one thousand cubic feet is equal to approximately 7,480 gallons of water.

To summarize, the average family of four in Wixom using 80 gallons per person per day of water and sewer can expect a quarterly bill of approximately $137, whereas the same family in another “average” Detroit area community can expect a quarterly bill of approximately $219. 

It is our goal to provide Wixom residents with the highest quality of water and sewer service attainable at the least cost possible.

When the outside temperatures hover around zero degrees, there is a possibility of water pipes in your home freezing, especially

 if they are contained in a crawl space or pass up through an outside wall of your home.

For the next few days, consider the following precautions:
1.	Open a water tap slightly, so that a very small, but steady, flow is maintained through the pipes, and 
2.	Open the doors underneath your bathroom vanity or kitchen sink so that warm room air will heat the pipes as well.  

As an additional safety measure, ensure that you know the location of the water shut off valve for your home, usually situated near the water meter.

A professional plumber or contractor can install heat tape around your exposed pipes to minimize the possibility of freezing as well.

If your pipes do freeze, the situation should be dealt with swiftly in order to prevent water damage to your home.
