Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly; water and sewer are billed together on one statement when both services are provided, and meters are generally read on about the same date each month.
- Rate structure
- Metered or flat-rate residential billing under Regulatory Commission of Alaska tariffs. Interim and refundable rates are effective February 13, 2026; the published filing lists a $11.68 customer charge, $10.15 per 1,000 gallons metered residential water, and $11.51 customer charge plus $7.63 per 1,000 gallons metered residential wastewater.
- Residential cost reference
- For 5,000-7,000 gallons, the published metered residential components are approximately $11.68 water customer charge plus $50.75-$71.05 water usage, and $11.51 wastewater charge plus $38.15-$53.41 wastewater usage, before other tariff charges and taxes.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- When both services are provided, AWWU bills water and wastewater together. Metered residential wastewater is charged through its own customer charge and per-1,000-gallon rate; unmetered residential accounts use a flat wastewater charge. The reviewed tariff did not expose a winter-average calculation.
- Meter reading
- Bills are normally based on an actual meter or remote-device reading; estimates may be used when the meter/remote device is inoperable, inaccessible, or weather prevents a reading. Meters are read around the same date each month.
- New-account deposit
- AWWU provides a separate deposit-information route; the reviewed accessible pages did not expose the current universal residential deposit amount or waiver/refund schedule.
