Establishes uniform rates for residential water and sewer services based on metered consumption.

This bill mandates that local public authorities set residential water and sewer service rates based solely on metered consumption. It prohibits charges exceeding the actual cost of water used for sprinkler systems in residential health care facilities and rooming or boarding houses. The bill allows for tiered rates based on total metered water consumption and exempts residential customers with separate outdoor water or sewer accounts from charges for sewer disposal services for outdoor use.
