What is a Billing Multiplier?
A billing multiplier is used to quantify the impact of a customer's use on the water or wastewater system. It is used to scale rates and charges according to that impact - the amounts listed on this webpage assume a multiplier of 1. The method used for determining the billing multiplier varies by account type as follows:
| Account Type | Billing Multiplier | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Individually Metered Residential (RE) | Single Family Equivalent (SFE) | A Residential Unit up to 3,000 square feet in Floor Area is equal to 1.0 SFE. A floor area larger than 3,000 square feet will have a proportionately higher SFE. |
| Commercial (CO) Multi-Family (MF) Mixed-Use (MX) | Meter Size | The meter size of an account determines the corresponding multiplier. See the conversion table below. |
| Irrigation-Only (SP) | Irrigated Acreage | Based on the fractional acres of irrigated land where one acre equals an irrigation multiplier of 1. |
Meter-based Multiplier Conversion Table (2025)
| Meter Size (in) | Meter-based Multiplier |
