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
- Bi-monthly, every two months. CHWD is fully metered and each bill includes a bi-monthly service charge plus a charge for consumption.
- Rate structure
- Uniform volumetric rate plus meter-size fixed charges and a Project 2030 dedicated charge. Effective 2026, usage is $1.38 per unit, where one unit is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons. For a domestic 3/4-inch meter, the bi-monthly service charge is $71.57 and the Project 2030 charge is $6.90; the Board later voted no water-rate increase for the remainder of 2026 and 2027.
- Residential cost reference
- For a typical 3/4-inch domestic meter using about 6,000 gallons in a two-month period (approximately 8 units), the 2026 water bill is about $89.51 per two months ($44.76 monthly average): $71.57 service + $6.90 Project 2030 + $11.04 usage. CHWD does not provide sewer service in the reviewed materials, so this is water-only.
- Meter reading
- CHWD became fully metered for residential billing in 2008 and bills every two months. The reviewed pages describe meter replacement and a service charge covering meter reading but do not identify AMI/AMR technology, transmission interval or fixed field-reading schedule.
- New-account deposit
- The 2026 CHWD fee schedule lists a $314 customer account deposit per account. The reviewed pages do not state credit-check waiver criteria or the exact refund timing after on-time payment history.
