Water Rate Calculator

City of West Linn Oregon Official Website
The calculator provides a way to estimate what your bill would look like for a typical residence within West Linn.  Please type in your consumption amount and select the year from the drop down menu to compare the current rate structure with the proposed conservation rates.

Use the water rate calculator above to compare what your monthly utility bill will be under the following rate structures:
· Current Rate Structure (first 7 units of water are included in base, one usage rate is charged per unit over 7 units)
· Proposed 1 Tier Conservation Rate Structure (one tier usage rate is charged per unit for all units of water used)

Water is our most precious commodity and adequate maintenance of the City’s water system is critical in continuing to provide quality water service to all residences of West Linn. The City Charter provides for a “not to exceed 5 percent provision” of city water rates, but the Utility Advisory Board has recommended that rates need to increase more than 5 percent to fund the $21 million of water infrastructure projects listed in the Water Master Plan.

The City Council will ask voters on the November 2010 ballot to consider increased water rates to fund $21 million in required water system infrastructure projects – investment in West Linn’s water system protects the City’s investment, and ensures safe, clean drinking water for our residents. The calculator below provides an estimate what your bill would look like for a typical residence within West Linn. Please type in your monthly consumption amount and select the year from the drop down menu to compare the current rate structure with the proposed conservation rate.

Note: 1 unit of water = 1 hundred cubic feet (ccf) = 748 gallons
