Why do you pay a water system charge?
You pay a water system charge because you live within a water board’s jurisdiction. The water board uses this money to ensure that the water in your area remains at the proper level and is safe. The water board builds, manages, and maintains dikes and pumping stations. In this way, the water board protects your area from flooding and helps prevent water shortages. The water board also ensures that the water in ditches, ponds, and lakes remains clean and healthy.
