Water & Sewer Information

Want to see what your estimated utility bill will look like with the new rates in effect?

Using prior usage amounts to see the estimated fees, please compare this to the amount of your original bill to understand how the increase will impact you. Test different usages and depending on the season a household can use vastly different amounts of water, generally more in Summertime. Additionally, if you have a second meter, the calculator will only generate an estimate for your main meter. Please reach out to waterbilling@cityofsaline.org with questions or concerns.
