The City of Oregon City bills monthly for water, sewer, storm drain services and a pavement maintenance utility fee. A statement will be mailed to you at the end of each month and will be due the middle of the next month.
 

Water rates are based on two elements:

• Charges applicable to meter size which covers fixed customer related costs (routine maintenance, billing, accounting, fire protection [hydrant systems], and debt payments)
   
• Consumption (variable) charge for each 100 cubic feet of water used. The total rate covers the cost of supplying water service and improvements to the City’s water system. The water meters are read every month.

Sewer fees are determined by two cooperating agencies: the City of Oregon City, and the Tri-City Service District. Sewer fees cover the maintenance, operation, debt payments and improvements of the sewer system. Residential fees are billed per dwelling unit. Commercial and institutional fees are billed based on water consumption (one equivalent residential unit (ERU) per water unit).
 

Storm drain fee is charged to all improved properties within City Limits and is used exclusively to implement, maintain, and improve the City’s storm drainage system.

Pavement Maintenance utility fee is a charge for usage, like your monthly sewer charge. It provides a stable source of revenue to pay for street maintenance allowing for safe and efficient movement of people, goods and services. The street system is a public investment that deserves protection and cost-effective regular maintenance.
