Why do I get charged a basic charge on services if I am gone and have not used any usage?

There is a minimum basic service charge for electric, water, sewer and gas.  The minimum is determined by the type of services (residential, commercial, etc.).  Residential sewer charges shall be based on the water consumed during the preceding consecutive months of December, January, and February.  The average usage of those months will be the basic charge for the rest of the billing periods till the next year.  Commercial sewer charges shall be based on the water consumed during the billing months.
