How much does a dripping faucet cost per year in Beaverton OR?

At TVWD Block 1 rates of $10.38 per CCF, a dripping faucet at 60 drips per minute wastes about 2,082 gallons per year, costing approximately $28.93 per year in water charges alone. If the leak runs during the November through April window, Clean Water Services sewer charges add further cost based on the inflated winter average.

Does TVWD have tiered water pricing?

Yes. TVWD uses a two-block rate structure billed every two months. Block 1 is $10.38 per CCF for the first 28 CCF in a bi-monthly period (roughly 14 CCF per month). Block 2 is $14.79 per CCF for usage above 28 CCF in a bi-monthly period. A significant leak can push a household from Block 1 into Block 2, increasing the per-gallon cost.

Does a winter leak raise my Clean Water Services sewer bill?

Yes. Clean Water Services sets each customer's sewer usage charge based on average water consumption during November through April (the winter averaging window). A leak running during that period inflates the winter average, and the resulting higher sewer usage charge of $2.41 per CCF applies for the following 12 months.

How often does TVWD bill for water?

TVWD bills every two months (bi-monthly). Each bill covers a two-month usage period. This means the cost of a slow leak may not be visible until you receive a statement that is double your normal amount.

How Much Is That Leak Costing You? (Tualatin Valley Water District Rates)

Most online leak calculators use a generic national rate and ignore sewer. This one uses real TVWD bi-monthly volume rates and flags the Clean Water Services winter sewer impact -- because a winter leak in Beaverton can raise your sewer charge for the following 12 months.

TVWD bills every two months, so the real cost of a leak can arrive as a surprise when a bi-monthly statement comes in double the normal amount. And because Clean Water Services calculates your sewer usage charge from your average water use during November through April, a leak running in that window sets a higher sewer rate for the next 12 months. This calculator shows both impacts at current Beaverton utility rates.
