What is considered a minimum bill for water and sewer?

Monthly minimum charges are based on meter size.  Customers pay a minimum bill to cover the costs of maintaining the water lines, meters and providing service each month.  Even if no water is used, VCU still has costs associated with producing water, maintaining the lines, reading the meters, providing customer service and the fixed cost of infrastructure and maintaining the treatment facilities year-round.  The amount varies based on your meter size and the services you receive View / print the
