A reader in Rockport recently wrote a letter to the editor of the PenBay Pilot and mentioned “the exorbitant increase in my sewer bill.” Maine Water would like to take the opportunity to explain to customers in Camden and Rockport the relationship between your water usage, your water bill, your sewer service and your sewer bill.
The simplest explanation is that water and sewer are two separate services.
Maine Water delivers fresh, clean drinking water. We bill you for that water based in part on how much water you use. The towns provide your sewer service and set the rates for all sewer bills, also based in part on how much water you use.
