The Readiness-to-Serve charge (RTS) is a fixed portion of the monthly utility bill. It is based on the cost of capital improvements and related debt service charges paid from the Water Fund budget. The varying rates are reflective of meter size, which dictates maximum water flow, or capacity to serve. The Consumption charge is based on the amount of water used each month. The rate is calculated to cover the day- to-day operating costs of the water utility. All customers pay the same rate.
