Boston Harbor Water and Sewer
Services
The
Boston Harbor Treatment Plant provides water and sewer service to the
Boston Harbor Community.
The water source consists of two wells, each drilled in the TQU Aquifer
approximately 150 feet apart adjacent to the water reservoir site.
The sewer system is a STEP tank system, with wastewater pumped to the
Boston Harbor Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Boston Harbor reservoir
was replaced in 2004 due to damage received in the 2001 Nisqually
Earthquake.
Billing
Information
Thurston
County bills water and sewer customers at the end
of each month, after meters are read.
- For water service: Customers pay a "base" rate, plus a "usage" rate that
reflects how much water they use.
- For sewer service: Customers pay a
fixed rate each month.
Thurston County also charges a $55
fee for reconnecting a property from water and/or sewer service.
Note: One cubic foot of water is
roughly 7.5 gallons. Likewise, 100 cubic feet of water is roughly
750 gallons.
