SCHEDULE OF RATES AND CHARGES
Tennessee law mandates that the Metro Utility Department operate its water and sewer system as a financially self-sufficient enterprise and that its rates and fees reflect the actual cost of providing its water and sewer services. Therefore, the Department’s only source of revenue comes from the rates and fees its customers pay for water and sewer service. To meet these mandates, the Department must increase its current water and sewer rates to remain financially sound and to continue to meet the water quality regulations of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
