Sewerage Usage Fee

What is the sewerage usage fee?

This is the cost for treating wastewater discharged from your homes and businesses at the wastewater treatment plant, the cost for cleaning facilities such as sewer pipes, and other maintenance-related costs, which will be borne by the users.

Notification of the "Public Sewer Use Start Notification Form"

When construction of drainage facilities begins in your home, a Notification of usage commencement is required.
This Notification will be handled by the designated Sewerage Division contractor, so please confirm the contents, sign, and seal it before handing it over to the contractor.
Note: Even if the sewer is temporarily not in use due to reconstruction or similar work, please submit the same document. If there is no Notification, even if the sewer is not in use, sewer usage fees will be charged based on water usage.
