tax bill by the Kern County Tax Assessor, and 2) sewer surcharge, which recovers costs that exceed the
amount of water consumption allowed for in the flat rate. The minimum sewer charge for all properties is
equal to the single family residence rate.
Note 2: Sewer fees for commercial and industrial users are estimated using lower of 1) winter months
annualized water consumption (Sum of January, February and December multiplied by four) or 2) actual
wafer consumption from prior calendar year.
