The Fern Bluff MUD calculates your sewer bill (wastewater) based on the amount of water you use during three consecutive winter billing cycles. Winter sewer averaging occurs between mid-November and mid-February which are your December, January and February water bills. Since water use during these months is generally only indoor water use and not outside irrigation, it's a good measure of the volume flowing into the sewer system. You can lower your sewer costs for the upcoming year by conserving water during these billing periods. The MUD recommends: turn off irrigation systems, fix leaking faucets and toilets, and check/repair pool auto-fills. Should the weather be abnormally dry, irrigating occasionally will protect your plants during the dormant season.
