The charge for soil subsidence can be found on your water bill. It is typically a few dollars per month and is meant to help cover the costs of repairing damage caused by subsidence, or the settling of soils. This charge is necessary because subsidence can damage infrastructure, such as roads and buildings, and can also lead to environmental problems, such as sinkholes. In order to repair this damage, cities and counties must invest in equipment and materials, as well as hire contractors. The soil subsidence charge helps to offset these costs so that they do not have to be completely borne by taxpayers.
