Utility Billing
The Village of Mukwonago provides water and sanitary sewer services to most Village properties. To cover the costs needed to provide these services, the Village created a Water Utility and a Sewer Utility. Listed below are the costs associated with operating these utilities as well as other information you may find useful.
*NOTE: As of April 1, 2011, new water and sewer rates will go into effect. Please see below for the latest rates.
Utility Billing Information: (262) 363-6420
The billing for water and sewer is on the same bill. Bills are mailed out the first day of each quarter:
Bills are due at least 20 days after the date bills are mailed out. Billing Periods are from the first day of each quarter to the last day of each quarter. Actual readings are taken for every account (unless otherwise stated on the bill). Bills are calculated based on water consumption in addition to flat rates.
The following codes will appear on your bill:
The sewer rate is reviewed and determined by the Village Board during the budget process.
Summer Sewer Break - "For residential users during the quarter ending September 30, the charge shall be the same as that assessed for the last quarter previous, ending June 30, unless the water consumption for this quarter is less than that for the quarter ending June 30, in which case the charge shall be for the actual water used. For all other users, the charge shall be per 1,000 gallons based on the metered water used." Sec. 86-238 (b) of the Municipal Code
Note: Readings are actually taken at the beginning of September, so actual usage is for June, July and August. To receive the Summer Sewer Break, concentrate your summer water usage during those months.
The Water Rate and Quarterly Service Charge are approved and determined by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin. The current rates are as follows:
Water Rate (2011 Rates in Black, 2010 Rates in Red)
Quarterly Service Charge The charge is a flat rate that is billed quarterly. Charges are based on the size of the water meter, 5/8" and ¾" meters are residential. (2011 Rates in Black, 2010 Rates in Red)
Under Wisc SS 196.03 (3)(b), the Village of Mukwonago has chosen to charge retail general service customers the public fire protection service on the utility bill.
This service shall include the use of hydrants for fire protection service only and such quantities of water as may be demanded for the purpose of extinguishing fires within the service area. This service shall also include water used for testing equipment and training personnel.
The charge is a flat rate that is billed quarterly. Charges are based on the size of the water meter, 5/8" and ¾" meters are residential. (2011 Rates in Black, 2010 Rates in Red)

After the due dates, penalties are applied to the remaining balance. The penalties are charged quarterly and are as follows:
The following are a few samples of what a quarterly utility bill will be. Water/Sewer bills are based on consumption of water. Because water habits vary throughout all families and businesses, there is no average consumption. Thus, there is no average utility bill. One family of 4 could use 15 thousand gallons of water per quarter while another uses 36 thousand.
What the Utility Bill Looks Like Utility bills are 8.5" X 11" invoices.
