What is wastewater and why do I pay for it?
Wastewater (sewer) is the used water that goes down the drains and into the wastewater collection system. Its source can be residential, commercial, or industrial. The sewer charge on your utility bill pays for the costs associated with functioning the wastewater collection system as well as transportation and treatment of the wastewater to be returned to the Trinity River.
