Municipal Sewer system

The City of Carterville maintains its own sewer system and sewage is treated at the Centercreek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Webb City.

 The city budgets just over 1/3 of the annual sewer revenue for dues paid to Centercreek WWTP.

The minimum monthly sewer bill is $20.03 based on 748 gallons of usage. Each gallon thereafter is charged at a rate of $0.0046990/gallon. Usage charges are set by using a three month average of the customers water usage. 

Due to heavy water use in the summer, the city will calculate annual averages early in the year to get the best base average and avoid high bills for our customers.

Bills are issued by the city each month and are paid at the City Hall Office, by mail or online through the customer portal.
