Note l: Sewer fees for commercial users consist of 1) a flat rate component, collected on the
property 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. �gRKfi�^
