Under the proposed ordinance, sewer customers would continue to be billed quarterly through a combination of fixed and usage-based charges. For general customers with a standard 5/8-inch meter, the proposed quarterly fixed charge is $49.29, with an additional volume charge of $11.97 per 1,000 gallons of metered water used. The ordinance also includes updated charges for other meter sizes, Class C customers, and wastewater haulers.

NOTICE: Do Not Flush ANY Disposable Wipes. They will plug the sewer system, increasing operation costs.

A late fee of 1%, minimum of $ .20 (all balances under $20.00 will receive a $ .20 late fee), will be applied to all outstanding balances on the first of every month.

Additional Information

Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR)

The City of Peshtigo Water Utility is required to submit an initial Service Line Materials Inventory to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) by October 16, 2024. This requirement stems from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Federal Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) which was put into effect in 2021. An additional requirement is to make the inventory data available to the public.

The LCCR excel file contains all known water connections as supplied by the Peshtigo Water Utility with the applicable data required to be submitted to the DNR. Data was gathered through construction records, visual inspections at property locations, and other utility records.

For additional information regarding the LCRR Service Line Materials Inventory Instructions, please review the summary sheet (PDF) created by the DNR. The Fact Sheet (PDF) provided by the EPA includes information about the 2021 LCRR Implementation.
