City will offer irrigation sewer credits


During the months of June, July, and August, the City of Henderson will offer credits on the sewage portion of its water bill for watering done during those months.

If a water bill is 1.5 times the customer’s average yearly bill during the above three months, the city will credit 75% of a customer’s sewer bill.

The credit must be requested monthly and cannot be done retroactively. The council reserves the right to stop the credits in case of another drought season.

According to Assistant Financial Director Sandra Wilkerson, the policy has not been adjusted since the early 1980s. Much of the policy was adopted from an ordinance for water line breaks.

The council approved the adoption of the policy unanimously.
