Our billing is based on annual revenue required from each property and service size. The annual fee is divided by 12 and becomes the minimum monthly fee.  Even if the usage is 0 gallons, the minimum applies. 

Each minimum monthly fee includes a water allowance which varies by size of service.

Ordinarily the District adds nothing to the water! Occaisonally though, there might be a need to chlorinate the system - for example when repairs are done or infrastucture is added.  When that is necessary, only chemicals that are approved by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality for treatment of drinking water are used within prescribed guidelines.    

A repair could have been completed recently allowing air to enter the line, causing the cloudy look.

Most likely your water heater needs to be flushed. CAUTION: Most manufacturers recommend hiring a professional to flush your water heater. If you plan on doing this yourself, read the owner's manual to keep from being hurt and or damaging the water heater.
