1. What is the MTWD Water Bill Calculation?

The Metro Townsend Water District (MTWD) bill calculation determines the total water bill based on consumption, tiered rates, minimum charge, and VAT. It provides an accurate assessment of water service costs for residential and commercial customers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the MTWD water bill formula:

\[ Bill = Minimum\ Charge + (Consumption \times Tiered\ Rate) + VAT\ (12\%) \]
