Larger than usual bills being received by some Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission customers are blamed on last winter's heavy snowfalls.
The weather hampered meter readers, putting them off schedule, and some water-sewer use bills cover up to seven and a half months of service, instead of the usual six-month period.
A small portion of the increase, WSSC explained, can be attributed to the three-cent increase in the sewer use rate, which went into effect January 1.
