Toledo 2026 Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Rates: Commercial Bill Checklist
Toledo 2026 rates show why businesses should separate water volume, sewer volume, meter-size fixed charges, stormwater ERUs, and refuse charges before modeling savings.
Key Takeaway
Toledo lists 2026 city-customer water volume at $4.858/CCF and sewer volume at $6.060/CCF for residential and commercial accounts. Sewer also includes fixed charges by meter size, and commercial stormwater is billed at $3.80 per ERU based on exterior impervious surface area divided by 2,500 square feet.

What changed
Toledo published 2026 water, sewer, and stormwater rates, including line-item detail for fixed and volume charges. The city also explains that sewer volume is billed from water passing through the meter.
The commercial lesson is that the total bill is not one rate. It can include water fixed charges, water volume, sewer fixed charges by meter size, sewer volume, stormwater ERUs, refuse, and local rules for customers outside Toledo.
Commercial impact model
A 300 kGal/month Toledo account is roughly 401 CCF. At 2026 city-customer rates, water volume is about $1,948/month and sewer volume is about $2,430/month before fixed charges, stormwater, refuse, and any site-specific details.
A 20% usage reduction in that model removes about 80 CCF/month. At Toledo 2026 volume rates, the directional water and sewer volume savings is about $873/month, or $10,481/year. Fixed charges and stormwater ERUs would not fall from usage reduction alone.
What operators should check first
Start by separating fixed and variable charges. A property with a 3-inch or larger meter can carry meaningful sewer fixed charges, while large paved sites may also carry stormwater ERU exposure.
Then check whether sewer is billed directly from water volume. In Toledo, that linkage makes usage reduction more valuable than a water-only calculation would suggest, but stormwater and fixed charges need separate treatment.
