Other taxes and fees on your bill
Your bill from EPCOR provides you with detail on every tax or fee that may apply to your service. Here are a few examples – not all may apply to you. EPCOR does not keep any taxes collected.
Water Use Tax: Required by the state of Arizona on all water sales, it is charged at a rate of $0.0065 per thousand gallons. A customer who uses 10,000 gallons will see a charge of 7 cents on their bill.
State Tax: Also required by the state, this 5.6% tax is charged on all water service-related charges, including the basic service charge, how much water you use, and fees like CAGRD that we may collect.
Pinal County Tax: Required by Pinal County and previously called a “state tax" on your Johnson Utilities bill, the Pinal County tax is 1.6% of your “total water charges".
Town of Florence Tax: Charged only to customers within town limits, 2% of your “total water charges" are collected for the Town of Florence.
Town of Florence Franchise fee: Remitted to the Town of Florence, this fee allows EPCOR to work in easements and other facilities to keep your service safe and reliable. It is calculated as 5% of your water and wastewater charges, excluding CAGRD fees.
Town of Queen Creek Tax: Charged only to customers within town limits, 2.25% of your “total water charges" are collected for the Town of Queen Creek.
