R6
- Heritage Ranch CSD should consider revising sewer bills to show water usage affects sewer charges. Response - Heritage Ranch CSD does not charge sewer rates based on the amount of water used. Sewer charges are a flat fee per residential dwelling or business. No change will be made to sewer billing because it is not based on the volume of water used.
