PROPOSED DISCOUNT FOR THE ELDERLY AND THE FULLY DISABLED

A 30% discount on all water, sewer and stormwater charges billed. This discount is applicable only to qualified, owner-occupied residential structures with one to four dwelling units.

PROPOSED CREDIT PROGRAM FOR STORMWATER CHARGES

An up to 50% credit off of stormwater charges will be available to all customers. The proposed credit program recognizes property owners for taking actions on their property that reduce their demand on BWSC’s stormwater system. The details and applications for the credit programs are available on our website. This credit will be applied to reduce billed stormwater charges after January 1, 2026.
