The Board of Trustees will have a hearing to discuss the sanitary sewer rate for 2019 on Wednesday, November 13th at 6:00pm at the PCRSD Office. The proposed sewer rate for 2019 is:

Base Charge $31.66 (unchanged from 2018)
User Fee $4.75 per 1,000 gallons (up $0.23 per 1,000 gallons from 2018)

For a customer using 4,000 gallons of water per month, the monthly bill would go up $0.92, an increase of 1.8%.

We just wanted to keep you updated on some key billing changes.

1. First, the PCRSD has dropped all processing fees for credit and debit card payments for sewer bill payments.
2. Customers that enroll in the ACH auto-payment program will receive a monthly discount of $1.25. If you are interested in signing up, please follow this link to obtain the ACH form.

If you have any questions about these changes, please call us at (816) 858-2052.

The Board of Trustees will hold a rate hearing on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. in the District office. The hearing will be for the proposed 2019 sewer rate:

Monthly base fee $31.66
Usage fee $4.52 per 1,000 gallons of water

For a customer using 4,000 gallons of water a month, the monthly bill would be $49.74.

If this rate is approved, the PCRSD would eliminate all credit/debit card processing fees for sewer bill payments. Approval would also include a $1.25 discount for customers enrolled in the PCRSD auto-pay program.

There were a couple of billing errors discovered after bills were printed and mailed.

1. The January 2018 sewer bills were calculated incorrectly. The 2018 sewer rate is $4.39 per 1,000 gallons, but the January bill was set at $4.29 per 1,000 gallons. Customers were under-billed $0.10 per 1,000 gallons. The rate will be correct for the February billing, so anticipate a slightly higher bill next month.
2. Some customers had erroneous water usages that greatly increased their bill. Staff has adjusted most of the accounts to reflect the correct usages. If you believed you received an incorrect bill, call (816) 858-2052 to get it revised and/or find out the correct billing amount.

We apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused.
