What is my bill based on?

The City of Superior bills for sewage, stormwater, recycling, and garbage. All fees are fixed fees except for sewage. Sewage is made up of two parts: a fixed monthly fee of $5.50 per month to be connected to the sewer system and a usage fee based on the amount of water used. The City receives this information from SWL&P monthly from your water meter.

  1. Sewage fees are $5.50 per month ($16.50 for 3 months) to be connected to the sewer system plus $7.71 per ccf (100 cubic feet) of water used.
  2. Stormwater fees are based on the amount of impervious area calculated on each parcel. 1 ERU = 2933 square feet. The minimum fee billed is 1 ERU or $5.90 per month ($17.70 for 3 months).
  3. Garbage fees are $7.75 per month for a single family dwelling ($23.25 for 3 months). Extra carts are available for $5.00 per month ($15.00 for 3 months). For commercial properties and residential properties larger than a single family dwelling, fees are $7.75 per month per dwelling unit. A maximum of 4 carts are allowed at any property. Example: a 6-plex may have up to 4 carts and will be billed 6 x $7.75/month = $46.50 or $139.50 for 3 months.
  4. Recycling fees are $3.50 per month for a single family dwelling ($10.50 for 3 months). The City of Superior contracts recycling pick-up to Hartel/DBJ. The contract covers pick-up of all residential dwellings up to a 4-plex. There is also a drop off facility located at 1021 Garfield Ave which is paid for by the recycling fees. Owners of large residential and commercial properties must provide recycling service themselves through a commercial hauler.
