Do this before closing day: if a title company, landlord or property manager is involved, ask the Utility Office how final billing is handled for that exact address. Do not assume water and sewer are transferred automatically from a real estate closing.

Sewer Utility, Softener Setting, Sump Pump and Private Lateral Rules

Softener setting

The 2026 Sewer Utility newsletter says the proper water-softener setting in the Sewer Utility service area is 25-31 grains of hardness.

Sump pump warning

The newsletter says it is illegal to discharge groundwater from a sump pump into the sanitary sewer system.

Private lateral

The newsletter says the sewer lateral from the building to the sanitary sewer main, including the connection to the main, is the property owner’s responsibility.

Sewer topic	What West Bend guidance says	Why it matters
Water softener	High-efficiency demand-initiated regeneration softeners are required by ordinance/rule context; proper setting is 25-31 grains.	Wrong settings waste salt, increase cost and add chloride to wastewater.
Chlorides	Wastewater treatment plant is not designed to remove chlorides.	Salt ultimately reaches treated discharge to the Milwaukee River.
Sump pump	Groundwater from sump pump must not discharge into sanitary sewer.	Treating groundwater increases WWTP costs and can burden the sewer system.
Grease and oils	Do not pour cooking oils or grease down the drain; let them solidify and dispose in trash.	Prevents clogged laterals and sewer problems.
Heavy solids	Coffee grounds and similar solids should go in trash.	Solids can contribute to blockages.
Flushable wipes	Newsletter lists wipes advertised as flushable among items known to cause blockages.	Trash wipes instead of flushing.
Private lateral repair	Cleaning, repairs or replacement of lateral are property-owner responsibility.	Call a plumber/sewer contractor if private lateral is blocked.
Sewer charge basis	Municipal code says sewer charges for water-metered users are based in part on water used as measured by the Water Utility meter.	A high water reading can also affect sewer charges.
Deduct meter concept	Municipal code includes deduct-meter language for significant metered water that does not reach the sanitary sewer.	Ask the utility before installing anything; rules and approvals matter.
Private well into sewer	Municipal code addresses metering water from sources other than the Water Utility if discharged to sanitary sewer.	Private water sources may still affect sewer billing.

High West Bend Water Bill: What to Check Before Calling

Continuous use

Running toilets, dripping fixtures, water softeners, irrigation, outdoor hoses or service-line leaks can raise water and sewer charges.

Sewer impact

Because sewer service charges can be based in part on water meter usage, a water leak may affect both the water and sewer portions of a bill.

Proof helps

Take a meter photo, note dates, keep repair receipts, and compare current usage with prior bills before asking for review.

Check	How to inspect	What to say to utility
Toilet leak	Listen for refilling, use dye test, check flapper/fill valve.	“A toilet leak was found/repaired on [date].”
Softener cycling	Check whether softener regenerates too often and whether hardness setting is 25-31 grains.	“My softener setting was [setting], and I corrected it on [date].”
Outdoor hose / irrigation	Check hose bibs, sprinklers, new lawn watering and wet spots.	“Usage increased during [watering/project dates].”
Meter reading	Take clear photo of meter reading, date and time.	“My bill read is [read], and today’s meter photo is [read].”
Service line leak	Look for soggy yard, low pressure, water near foundation or meter area.	“Is this on the utility side or private side of the meter?”
Sewer charge	Review whether high water usage increased sewer charge.	“Which line item increased: water, sewer, fee, penalty or prior balance?”
Past-due balance	Compare prior balance and payments against current bill.	“Was the increase usage or unpaid carryover?”
Payment fee	Separate convenience fee from utility balance.	“Is this fee from the payment vendor or from the utility bill?”

High-bill script: “My West Bend Water Utility bill increased from [usual amount/usage] to [current amount/usage]. I checked toilets, softener, hoses, irrigation, meter reading and sewer line items. Can you review which charge changed and whether any meter reread, adjustment or payment arrangement is available?”

Wisconsin PSC Rights, Tariffs and Sewer Complaint Basics

Water tariffs

Wisconsin PSC says water utility tariffs are formal filings covering rates and service rules, and utilities must keep rates/rules on file and available to customers.

Deposit rule

PSC consumer FAQs explain when a Wisconsin water utility may ask for residential or commercial deposits and when deposits are returned with interest after prompt payment.

Sewer distinction

PSC explains that municipal sewerage systems are not fully regulated as public utilities, but users may file certain sewer complaints for PSC review of reasonableness.

Issue	First step	Escalation path
Water rate or tariff question	Ask West Bend Water Utility for applicable tariff/rate explanation.	Use PSC water tariff resources if unresolved.
Deposit question	Ask why deposit is required and what prompt-payment period triggers return.	PSC consumer FAQs explain Wisconsin deposit rules.
Billing/payment dispute	Call 262-335-5040 with bill, receipt and account number.	Keep written timeline before contacting PSC or local officials.
Sewer rate/rule/practice complaint	Contact Sewer/Utility Office first.	PSC may review reasonableness of municipal sewer rates/rules/practices under the statute referenced in its FAQ.
Water quality concern	Contact Water Utility and check DNR/CCR records.	Use Wisconsin DNR drinking-water resources if public-health or compliance issue remains unresolved.
