If you receive a higher than normal bill, you may be eligible for a billing adjustment:

  • Adjustment: For various reasons, an account may be eligible for a reduction of charges for both residential and commercial properties.  
  • CAP-approved customers: CAP-approved customers may be eligible to receive a High Bill Adjustment removing 100% of the excess water and sewer usage once for up to two consecutive billing periods in any three-year period. See more about CAP below.  
Bay Restoration Fund Exemption

Maryland Department of the Environment uses the revenue to fund improvements to water resource recovery facilities owned by utilities, including WSSC Water. The BRF is assessed each bill period for residential and commercial customers. CAP customers qualify for an exemption.
