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 utility billing. Bills are due upon receipt, and the City states that an unpaid bill becomes delinquent 25 days after it is produced.
- Rate structure
- Monthly meter base charge plus increasing-block potable-water volume pricing, with separate inside-city and outside-city schedules. Effective March 2, 2026, an inside-city 5/8-inch meter has an $11.18 monthly base; single-family water volume is $1.91 per 1,000 gallons for 0-10,000 gallons, $2.47 for 10,001-20,000, $3.14 for 20,001-60,000, and $3.90 above 60,000. The rate adjustment applies across customer classes and is not a seasonal drought surcharge.
- Residential cost reference
- For an inside-city single-family home with a 5/8-inch meter using 5,000-7,000 gallons, water is approximately $20.73-$24.55 monthly, calculated from the $11.18 base plus $9.55-$13.37 at the first tier. Chandler residential sewer is a $31.80 monthly base inside city limits, so the typical water-and-sewer subtotal is approximately $52.53-$56.35 before tax, solid waste, and other bill items.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Chandler residential wastewater is billed as a flat monthly base charge rather than a winter-average or water-volume formula. The inside-city single-family sewer base is $31.80 and the outside-city base is $50.88. Non-residential sewer has a volume component of $5.03 per 1,000 gallons inside city limits or $8.05 outside, in addition to the applicable base.
- Meter reading
- Chandler is deploying an advanced metering infrastructure program that replaces aging meters with smart water meters, a communications network, and a data-management system. The City expects the system to provide daily usage information, leak alerts, and portal visibility, with citywide implementation targeted for 2027; until rollout is complete, meter technology and transmission frequency may vary by service address.
- New-account deposit
- A $25 account activation fee plus tax applies to all new utility accounts. Anyone who has not established credit with Chandler Utility Services must pay a refundable security deposit; the reviewed public page does not state one universal dollar amount or a fixed credit-check waiver threshold. Customers should ask the City to calculate the account-specific deposit and refund conditions.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The account activation fee is $25 plus tax for all new utility accounts. Chandler requests at least one business day's notice, the requested activation date, service and mailing addresses, telephone number, and driver's-license information; service starts are not provided on weekends or holidays. The reviewed page does not state a separate universal name-transfer fee.
