Running toilet in winter, higher sewer bill all year?
Why it happens in Vernonia
The City of Vernonia says sewer consumption is based on each customer's winter average water use. A toilet that keeps running after a partial clog, or a drip you leave going so a pipe won't freeze, raises that winter average.
What to try, and when to call us
Fix the clog and the flapper in fall, not in January. If a drain is slow going into winter, have it cleared before the averaging months.

Mobile home drain frozen overnight?
What causes it in Vernonia
The Vernonia #2 station averages about 99 nights a year at or below freezing. About 14% of homes in town are mobile homes, where drain lines run under the floor behind thin skirting. A frozen trap or line looks exactly like a clog.
What you can do right now
Don't pour boiling water in. Keep skirting closed and vents shut in cold snaps. If the drain stays blocked after a thaw, a plumber can clear it and check for a cracked pipe.

New sewer mains on your street?
Why Vernonia homes see this
Vernonia's Voice reported that the nearly $4 million Springboard Sewer Project is complete, including a new lift station and new gravity and pressure sewer mains. The city counts 1,025 billable sewer services.
When to stop and call
New mains don't fix an old lateral. About 22% of homes here predate 1940, and roots in those private lines still cause backups. That part is a call to us.
