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. BWP's water-rate page defines monthly availability and quantity charges; the combined BWP bill may include water, power, sewer and other City services.
- Rate structure
- Monthly water availability charge plus tiered quantity and Water Cost Adjustment Charge. Effective January 1, 2026, a 1-inch-or-smaller residential meter has a $24.87 monthly availability charge; the first 8 HCF is $1.785 per 100 cubic feet, the next 12 HCF $3.491, and additional HCF $4.315, plus WCAC $2.825 per 100 cubic feet. One HCF is 748 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $78 per month for a 1-inch-or-smaller account using 6,000 gallons (about 8.02 HCF), before sewer/refuse and other BWP lines: $24.87 availability plus roughly $14.32 first-tier quantity plus $22.65 WCAC. Actual billed HCF rounding, customer class and current sewer rate change the combined total.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Burbank Water and Power bills water separately from the City's sewer/water-reclamation service. The reviewed sewer page describes City wastewater operations but the accessible material does not provide a universal percentage or winter-average formula; customers should use the separate sewer line on the BWP bill.
- Meter reading
- BWP bills in HCF and the City's customer-account tools can show usage, but the reviewed pages do not identify an AMR/AMI vendor, transmission interval or universal route-read schedule.
