Official City schedule
The posted rates take effect October 1, 2026
The City of Jasper page says Council passed Ordinances 081026A, 081026B, and 081026C relating to new water, sewer, and electric rates, and that the new schedule takes effect October 1, 2026. This guide uses only the displayed commercial water and sewer facts.
An effective date does not establish the first bill, service period, or billing cadence. Match the actual service period to the City’s treatment before using the new rows.
Commercial water mechanics
The water minimum includes the first 2,000 gallons
The City lists commercial water inside and outside City limits at $43.12 minimum through 2,000 gallons, then $3.55 per 1,000 gallons above 2,000.
Apply the above-minimum rate only to the quantity over 2,000 gallons. Do not relabel the minimum as a separate meter or base fee, and do not transfer the row to multi-use, industrial, bulk, or another class.
Commercial sewer mechanics
The sewer row has its own minimum and above-minimum rate
The City lists commercial sewer inside and outside City limits at $57.20 minimum through 2,000 gallons, then $6.60 per 1,000 gallons above 2,000.
The reviewed page does not establish how Jasper determines billed sewer quantity. The illustration below declares sewer quantity independently; it does not claim that the account’s sewer quantity automatically equals metered water.
Account questions
The City page leaves important bill treatment to the account
Billing cadence, the first governed service period, actual water and sewer quantities, meter and account arrangement, taxes, penalties, electric or other utility lines, adjustments, prior balances, unusual account treatment, and technical feasibility remain outside the published commercial rows.
Reproduce those items from the actual bill or written City guidance before turning the schedule into a budget, forecast, or facility decision.
Smart Valve calculation — usage-quantity illustration
Commercial included lines at 100,000 and 80,000 declared gallons
This arithmetic applies each declared quantity independently to the published commercial water and sewer rows. The quantities are illustrative inputs, not an observed before-and-after account result.
| Included line | 100,000 gallons | 80,000 gallons | Arithmetic difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial water minimum through 2,000 gallons | $43.12 | $43.12 | $0.00 |
| Water above 2,000 gallons — 98 or 78 × $3.55 | $347.90 | $276.90 | $71.00 |
| Commercial water included-line total | $391.02 | $320.02 | $71.00 |
| Commercial sewer minimum through 2,000 gallons | $57.20 | $57.20 | $0.00 |
| Sewer above 2,000 gallons — 98 or 78 × $6.60 | $646.80 | $514.80 | $132.00 |
| Commercial sewer included-line total | $704.00 | $572.00 | $132.00 |
| Declared included-line total | $1,095.02 | $892.02 | $203.00 |
The $203.00 figure is an included-line arithmetic difference at two independently declared quantities. It is not a complete bill, quote, billing-cadence claim, monthly or annual forecast, actual before-and-after result, product result, or promised saving. Actual class, billed water and sewer quantities, meter and account arrangement, service period, taxes, penalties, electric or other utility lines, unusual treatment, adjustments, prior balances, and technical feasibility remain excluded or unknown.
Decision checklist
What to confirm on the Jasper account
- 1Confirm the City of Jasper is the provider and record the printed customer class.
- 2Match the actual service period and first governed bill to the October 1, 2026 schedule.
- 3Record billed water quantity and billed sewer quantity separately; do not infer their relationship.
- 4Apply each minimum through 2,000 gallons before using the above-minimum rate.
- 5Keep multi-use, industrial, bulk, electric, tax, penalty, adjustment, prior-balance, and every unlisted line outside the commercial illustration.
- 6Reproduce the actual account before testing which metered-volume exposure is technically feasible to address.
Scope boundary
Where Smart Valve realistically fits
Smart Valve may be relevant only to technically addressable metered volume after the provider, class, service period, water and sewer quantities, meter and account arrangement, operating conditions, and technical feasibility are verified.
Smart Valve does not change the published minimums, customer class, billing cadence, sewer policy, taxes, penalties, electric or other utility lines, adjustments, or account treatment. The included-line arithmetic is not a guaranteed bill result.
