Utility customers may drop off their bill payments at City Hall and the Public Works/Utility Services Building.

 

This page covers some of the common questions and issues that residents have with their sewer and water bills. If your questions are not answered here, please call 651.256.3304.

Your utility bill explained

Why is my usage always an even number?
Usage is calculated in whole thousands. For example: If your meter reads 362,422, your meter reading on your bill would be 362,000 and the remaining 422 gallons would be reflected on the next bill. This way our system bills out in whole thousands.

My usage seems high this month, why?
What methods exist for paying my bills? 
  • Send in check monthly with statement by the 20th of the month.
  • Have payment automatically deducted each month from checking/savings account - There is no charge and you still receive a statement each month.
  • Drop Box Locations: Public Works Building at 13770 Dakota Avenue; Savage City Hall at 6000 McColl Drive
 
  • Payments can be sent to:
    City of Savage
    P.O. Box 25470
    St. Paul, MN 55125
There are several things that can increase your usage in a month. Here are some to keep in mind.

  1. Some water softeners use between 200 - 400 gallons each time they are set to regenerate. A water softener should regenerate approximately every other week for a family of four. Warmer weather means more showers, baths and outside water usage. Holidays - keep in mind extra guests means more water used!
  2. Possible leaks - toilet, sink or outside faucet.
