A Stormwater Utility is a form of stormwater management. A Stormwater Utility relies on user fees with costs allocated to developed properties according to their contribution of runoff into the stormwater system. The Utility maintains and improves the stormwater conveyance/treatment system.
"Stormwater" usually refers to stormwater runoff, which is the flow of rainwater from impervious surfaces such as streets, sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, roofs, etc.
Because of its mechanical design, the meter cannot speed up. The meter is a positive displacement meter. This means that the meter will only register if water passes through it. A set of magnets transmits the motion of an internal disc, causing the numbers to turn only when water is passing through the meter. As a meter ages, it tends to slow down (measuring less water than actually passes through it) or stops altogether. If this happens, the city removes and replaces the meter.
The City of Edgewater owns the meter and the backflow prevention assembly as well as the pipes connecting them to our system. The property owner owns from the outside of the backflow prevention assembly into the building or home and is responsible for repair and maintenance.
Pool fills do not qualify for a high consumption water credit, although you may qualify for a sewer credit. Contact your sewer company, in writing or fill out a water adjustment form, or fill out our new Online Adjustment Form to request a sewer credit. Please include the date the pool was filled.
For all single family residential service, the sewer deposit for a ¾" meter is $100.00. This deposit may be waived if you have a good utility credit rating. For residential locations with a 1" or larger meter, or for commercial properties, please contact Utility Customer Service for an amount.

You should receive your bill around the same time every month. You may call the Utility Customer Service office at (386) 424-2400 Ext. 4000 to get your balance for payment. You may also access the automatic phone feature (386) 427-3279. Failure to receive your bill will not avoid disconnection of service.
As part of our effort to "Go Green", the City offers e-Notifications (also called e-Bills). After initiating e-Notifications, the first month you will receive two bills by both e-mail and paper, and then your monthly bill will only be e-mailed to you. Please Fill out our Go Green Form to start e-Notifications.
