Winter Quarter Limit Charged To July-Aug-Sept Wastewater Bill

Press release from the City of Fairfax :

Fairfax City wastewater customers are billed a winter quarter limit, which is based on winter quarter consumption multiplied by a factor of 1.3 or actual water consumption during the current billing period, whichever is lower.

Fairfax City Council adopted the winter quarter limit for City of Fairfax wastewater fees in February 2022 to minimize charges for water consumption that does not discharge to the wastewater system (i.e., irrigation and filling pools).

Commercial accounts are not included because these accounts have a master meter that can be supplemented by a sub-meter to measure flow that does not enter the wastewater system.
