My bill is too high
If your bill seems too expensive:
- Check for water leaks, dripping faucets, or a running toilet. These can increase your water and sewer charges.
- Make sure your garbage or food and yard waste lid closes. An overfilled bin can affect your solid waste charges.
- Extra garbage or extra food and yard waste placed on the curb next to your bin costs extra.
Recycling is always free – even extra recycling placed on the curb next to your bin.
