EXAMPLE #1: EXAMPLE #2:
Billing is 510 cu.ft. Billing is 730 cu.ft.
$40.87 + 10 cu.ft. @ $ .0421/cu.ft. $40.87 + 230 cu.ft. @ $ .0421/cu.ft.
Therefore: $40.87+ $0.42 = $41.29 Therefore: $40.87 + $9.68 = $50.55
Tax: 41.29*.07= $2.89 Fire: $0.97 Servline Optional: $2.25 Tax: 50.55*.07= $3.54 Fire: $0.97 Servline Optional: $2.25
Sewer: 26.51+510*.0451=$49.51 Sewer: 26.51+730*.0451=59.43
