Sewer Rates

Commercial users are charged $52.71 for each residential equivalent unit (REU). REU's are determined by dividing a commercial customer's usage in the prior year by 4,000 gallons and 12 months (or 48,000). This number is rounded up, and represents the equivalent usage of a single family residence. Please contact Garibaldi City Hall for more details.
