Sewer / Wastewater Service

Sewer Charges


Your monthly sewer charge is based on a calculation of the average water billed for December through February on your Municipal Services bill.

If you would like to learn more about your sewer charges, please contact the City of Safford Citizen Services Department at (928) 432-4060 during the hours of 7:00 am - 6:00 pm Monday through Thursday.

The best way to lower your monthly sewer charge is to use less water during the months of December through February.
