If you participated in the 2015 AE2S Nexus North Central Utility Rate Survey, you should receive your results booklet soon. Until then, here is a sneak peak at the Total Utility Bill (water, wastewater, and stormwater) graphics from the 2015 survey. The values reported in the following tables illustrate the monthly residential charge for a bill equating to 6,000 gallons of water and wastewater usage.
Figures 1 through 5 represent the reported results for communities serving greater than 5,000 people reported alphabetically, by State. Figure 6 illustrates the Total Utility Bill for Minnesota systems serving greater than 5,000 and provided wastewater service through the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.

In total, AE2S Nexus received survey responses from 106 systems serving 5,000 or more, and substantial efforts were taken to report the data as accurately as possible. Although verification efforts were completed, in some instances data may not have been provided in full or fully verified. We hope you find the survey results useful to your community or regional system as you evaluate your utility rates and plan for the future.
