Sewer, Wastewater and Garbage Charges on a Tucson Utility Statement

🚽

Sewer/wastewater

Pima County Wastewater Reclamation uses the average of December, January and February billing periods from the water bill to calculate the monthly sewer charge.

🧮

Winter averaging appeal

Pima County offers customers an opportunity to appeal winter averaging because December billing may include some November use.

🗑️

Garbage/recycling

Garbage and recycling charges are handled by City Environmental Services at 520-791-3171, Monday-Friday 7 AM-5 PM.

High Tucson Water Bill: Leak, Meter and Usage Alert Steps

📈

High usage alert

If the bill shows a high-usage alert and you did not knowingly use or lose a lot of water, Tucson says there may be a leak on the property.

🔎

Check private-side leaks first

Leaks can occur in the service line from meter to home, toilets, evaporative coolers, irrigation, water heaters, swimming pools, spas and water treatment systems.

📟

High Bill Investigation

After the Smart Home Water Guide steps, Tucson Water can submit a High Bill Investigation to verify meter number, check continuous flow and visually inspect the meter.

High-bill check
What to do
Why it matters
Usage unit
Confirm CCF usage and convert to gallons if needed.
One CCF is about 748 gallons; a few CCF can be a large amount of water.
Usage tier
Check whether usage moved from 1-7 CCF into 8-15, 16-30 or over 30 CCF.
Higher tiers cost more per CCF.
Toilet leak
Dye-test toilets and listen for refilling when no one has flushed.
Silent toilet leaks can run continuously.
Evaporative cooler
Check float valve, drain line and overflow.
Tucson’s climate means cooler leaks can be easy to miss.
Irrigation / drip system
Check controller schedule, broken emitters, valves, line breaks and water waste.
Outdoor use is often the biggest seasonal driver in desert homes.
Service line
Turn off all water in the house and yard, then see whether meter movement continues if safe to check.
Tucson Water cannot locate private-property leaks but can check the meter side.
Meter investigation
Call 520-791-3242 and ask for a High Bill Investigation after following the leak checklist.
Tucson Water can verify meter number, continuous flow and meter readings when appropriate.
Sewer and garbage
Separate water charge from sewer and garbage/recycling line items.
The total utility statement may rise even when water use is not the only cause.
High-bill script: “My Tucson utility statement increased from [normal amount/CCF] to [new amount/CCF]. I checked toilets, irrigation, evaporative cooler, pool/spa, water heater and the service line. Can you review the read and submit a High Bill Investigation to check the meter for continuous flow?”

Tucson Water CARES, Bill Assistance and Conservation Programs

Utility bill assistance

Tucson Water CARES helps lower the cost of water, sewer and garbage bills each month for qualifying customers.

Low-income conservation

Programs include free toilet replacement, emergency plumbing repairs, discounted clothes washer, rainwater harvesting grants/loans and gray water grants/loans.

Water Quality, Pressure, Hard Water and 2025 Annual Reports

Water sources

Tucson Water says potable water comes from local aquifers and annually refreshed Colorado River water, with the tap blend varying across the service area.

Monitoring scale

The City says staff monitor drinking water quality at 170 wells, 60 reservoirs, 271 sampling stations and 125 selected homes across its systems.

Quality / pressure contact

For water quality or pressure concerns, call 520-791-5945 or email QualityAndPressure@tucsonaz.gov.

Concern
What Tucson Water says
What to do
Is the water safe?
Tucson Water states it provides safe drinking water that complies with federal, state and local drinking-water regulations.
Review the current Annual Water Quality Report and use the neighborhood dashboard for local data.
Hard water
Local groundwater and Colorado River water tend to make Tucson’s water hard, which can affect taste but does not present health risks according to the City page.
Use hard-water tips if scale or taste is the main issue.
Cloudy water
Cloudiness may be tiny air bubbles released from the faucet.
Fill a clear glass and see whether it clears from bottom to top.
Discolored water
Discoloration may be impacted by nearby construction.
Note location, time, one tap/all taps and nearby work before calling.
Odor / taste
Sink odors can come from bacteria in drains or water heaters; chemical smells may relate to disinfection.
Test cold water in a clean glass away from the sink drain and report persistent issues.
Low pressure
Pressure can vary across the service area and may be impacted by construction, a pressure regulating valve or leaks within the Customer Zone.
Ask 520-791-5945 whether the issue is local, customer-side or system-related.
Annual reports
2025 Annual Water Quality Reports include a Main System report and Corona de Tucson report, with English and Spanish versions.
Use the correct report for your service area.
