Great Oaks Water
continues to offer the
lowest water rates in the City of San Jose. Here you will find information
which will help you determine how the charges on your water bill are
established.
The Water Charge
on your water bill is made up of two separate calculations: the Readiness to Serve Charge,
and the Usage Charge.
The Readiness to Serve Charge is a
recurring monthly charge which is determined by the size of the water
meter serving your property. This charge applies even if you used no
water during the billing period. The Readiness to Serve charge for each
size meter is listed below:

In addition to the Readiness to Serve Charge
there is a Usage Charge used to calculate your water bill. The Usage Charge is determined by how much water you use during the
billing period. The water is measured in units of 100 cubic
feet. One hundred cubic feet is 748 gallons.
For all water delivered
after Sept. 1, 2009 |
The Net Usage Charge
with Surcharge per 100 cubic feet is $1.894 |
These two charges are added together to produce
the Water Charge portion of your water bill. In addition there are
several taxes charged by various governmental agencies that are added to
your water bill to get the total amount due.
