Customer Charge = This category includes those costs directly related to the number and servicing of customers, such
as customer accounting, a portion of labor expenses, which are fixed in nature.
Availability Charge = Costs included as availability costs are those incurred to maintain a water and sewer system
capable of serving the total combined demands of all classes of customers. This category would include capital costs,
debt service and other costs which are fixed and do not vary significantly with the level consumption.
Volume Charges = These are costs which vary directly with the amount of water and sewer flows
treated by the City and are thus, variable in nature.
Solid Waste Fee = These fees provide funding for two major services. First, the monthly fee covers all the costs for
the costs for Hickory's recycling program which includes curbside collection, multi-family bins, business pick-ups, yard
business pick-ups, yard waste collection, leaf collection, and the disposal of white goods (large appliances).
Secondly, the solid waste fee is used to cover the cost of dumping Hickory's solid waste at Catawba County's Landfill.
