Maryland: Flush Tax
In an attempt to protect the Chesapeake Bay, the Bay Restoration Fund in Maryland is supported by a $5 monthly fee on sewer bills, in addition to an equivalent $60 annual fee for users of a private septic system or holding tank. Commercial or non-residential users are billed at a rate of $5 per month for each equivalent dwelling unit their system serves up to $120,000 a year. So, flushing your toilet in Maryland is now much more expensive than it once was.
