LOWER YOUR SEWER RATES FOR 2022
It has to go somewhere.
Indoor wastewater is transported from our plumbing fixtures and appliances via the underground pipes that form our sewer system. The City of Frisco utilizes over 686 miles of pipeline infrastructure to transport wastewater from our homes and businesses to one of two wastewater treatment plants where it is cleaned and treated before being released to either flow downstream, or to be reused.
Like other cities, Frisco bases its sewer rates on average water consumption during the winter months. To calculate your home's residential rate, water usage is tabulated from December to March, the highest month’s usage is dropped, and the remaining three months are averaged.
As sewer services are non-metered, they are calculated when outdoor watering needs are at their lowest for the year. This is yet another reason why it is so important to avoid overseeding your landscape with cool season grasses, such as rye and fescue. For most residential accounts, the City of Frisco cannot distinguish between indoor and outdoor usage, which means, running your sprinkler controller in the winter to water cool season grasses not only puts unnecessary pressure on our reservoirs, but will also result in a higher sewer bill!

CENTRAL STANDARD TIME WATERING
The City of Frisco's time-of-day watering restriction ended on Sunday, November 7. The city relaxes this time-of-day restriction during Central Standard Time, as it allows residents flexibility to water during the day, if necessary. This minimizes the risks associated with watering in the evenings - when temperatures may dip below freezing.
Remember, running sprinkler systems during a rain event or when temperatures dip below 40 degrees constitutes a watering violation.
