How the conservation rate is applied
Only customers who use more than 120 CCF in a single billing quarter will be charged the conservation water rate, and only for usage above and beyond 120 CCF (up to 1-inch meters; see the chart below).
SCWA is an independent public-benefit corporation operating under the authority of the Public Authorities Law of the State of New York, meaning we operate without taxing power on a not-for-profit basis. Through this rate structure and the measures outlined above, we are doing everything possible to both pay for the vital service we provide and look after the needs of our customers.
