Schertz water customers' use during this winter's sewer-averaging window will set their monthly sewer charge for the 12 months beginning April 1, 2027. The city's sewer-averaging notice gives two measurement windows based on when customers receive their bills. The first begins Nov. 1.
For customers, water used during the applicable window affects a full year of sewer charges. The city lists a $17.71 base charge, $5.57 per 1,000 gallons for the first 12,000 gallons, and $13.37 per 1,000 gallons above that threshold.
