Both are usually ran by the same town so it still seems that they would just allocate so much from a single bill.
The town I live near somehow some large ammount of money from the water and waste budget was transferred over to the fiber optic internet the town just had to have. They were loosing money on it abut every year. I think they finally got some privite company to take it over.

Yeah and a split level to boot!
Years ago a guy was being dunned by the county for not paying his sewer bill. He had water but was using a septic. They were clueless.
My brother has a well but a sewer. I'll have to ask him how or even if he is billed.
Nope. Septic.
That's not unusual. The property owner still has to pay the sewer bond. His property is "improved" by the sewer, even though he doesn't use it.
Flat rate, no doubt. It could be part of his property taxes. TANSTAAFL

Around here I think they are metered. I have well & sewer. The Twp sends notices every 3+ years to have them cleaned. I have never seen a truck at either of my neighbors. I don't care, none of my business. I don't see any indications of failure, no smells or wet spots so eff it. The state makes these mandates and the Twp knows if they fight it will be a losing battle. The Twp has really high sewer rates; I am told. We also can't burn leaves ;)
I sure am glad I do not live in that area. I am out in the country and have the well and septic tank. If I want to burn something I can. There is a restriction that it has to be natural like leeves and treees, but a few pieces of cardboard or lumber scraps would hardly be noticed. If I want to shoot off a few rounds from a gun , no problem.
I don't live in the middle nowhere (town water) and there is no problem burning leaves, cardboard, or wood (no PT, obviously). There are "red flag" (dry or high wind) days and air quality alerts when you're not supposed to burn but they usually only last a few days.
