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-equivalent cycle billing with eight geographic billing cycles. Meters are read by geographic area and the cycle is billed during the following week.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block tiers plus a meter service charge. The municipal ordinance schedule lists residential water usage bands of first 2,000 gallons, next 13,000 gallons, and over 15,000 gallons, with separate inside/outside-city rates; applicable taxes or fees may also apply.
- Residential cost reference
- For an inside-city 6,000-gallon residential account, the published post-December-31-2026 schedule would calculate $31.96 in usage ($8.56 for the first 2,000 gallons plus $23.40 for the next 4,000), before the applicable meter service charge, sewer, and other utility services. The exact 2026 bill depends on the effective tariff and account location.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Fayetteville bills water and sewer together based on consumption. The city explains that sewer surcharges are higher than water charges because of the treatment facility; the reviewed FAQ does not expose a winter-average formula. The ordinance states wastewater volume is measured at the point of connection, so customers should use the current bill and tariff for the exact sewer charge.
- Meter reading
- Meters are read according to geographic location across eight billing cycles; the reviewed current customer pages do not identify whether every meter is AMR/AMI or the exact read date. Treat the schedule as area-based rather than assuming a single citywide reading day.
- New-account deposit
- A $50 minimum deposit is normally required before new water/sewer service is established. The city requires an application, valid photo ID, and lease or utility sheet when applicable; the ordinance allows the deposit to be increased, including up to two and one-half times the estimated maximum bill for delinquent-payment history. A current credit-check waiver or routine return schedule is not exposed on the reviewed page.
