WHY DO YOU SEE A LARGER WATER/SEWER/GARBAGE  BILL EVERY THREE MONTHS?

The City of Underwood only reads and calculates your water / sewer usage on the calendar quarters - March, June, September, and December of each year.  Each month you are billed the basic charges - - then for March, June, September and December your water / sewer usage is calculated based on what usage there has been for the quarter at the above rates - - resulting in the larger bill.
