Annual residential cost/price of sewer services at 45,000 gallons of water consumption (state-level)

At the state level, this metric shows the estimated average weighted cost of sewer services for households using 45,000 gallons of water per year, based on the rate schedule for the most recent full calendar year. The weighted average is based on average flow rates (million gallons per day) for each utility with cost information, using flow information from NJDEP. This metric is based on data collected for "A New Jersey Affordability Methodology and Assessment for Water and Sewer Utility Costs" (Van Abs, 2021). (See the Documents Library page for this report.)

Note: The reported value is an estimation, based on an annual fixed volume. Thus, a specific household’s utility bill may be different, as their usage may differ and their bill can include other fees that have not been factored into the research and analysis.
