Many places the sewer bill is based on your water usage
in the winter. Here in Tulsa it is based on your
average water useabe in Dec., Jan., and Feb.
Of course I knew a man in Cape Canaveral, FL who had to
quit using his well for irrigation because of salt water
intrusion. He was moaning, because the city didn't
allow anything for irrigation on his sewer bill.

He can probably get an allowance, but will cost him money. We have a similar
situation at work where much of our water is converted to steam and lost to
atmosphere. The town said we could put in a sewer meter (at our expense)
and pay accordingly. He may be able to get a separate line and meter, but
all at his cost.

Maybe, maybe not. The sewer department charges by taking hte total
operating cost and dividing it by the water usage. If everyone on the
system uses 5% of their water for watering the lawn, everyone pays the same
fair price. Since that is not going to happen, the guy that uses only 1%
pays more, the guy using 10% gets a bargain.

Do what I did - keep the private well for outside water, hook up to
the city water/sewer for inside. The city was fine with it.

Lots of places are not "fine with that" In Florioda they usually "cap"
your well (pour solid with concrete) as part of the city water/sewer
install.
