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.
- Rate structure
- Metered water and sewer charges governed by Title 15, with fixed service charges and volumetric usage rates. The current municipal code and FY 2025-26 master fee schedule contain service, penalty, turn-on, and deposit categories; the complete household tariff was not exposed in the reviewed page.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Water and sewer are billed together under Title 15. The reviewed City page did not publish a winter average or a simple percentage tie-in; the current charge depends on the rate schedule and measured service.
- New-account deposit
- The FY 2025-26 schedule includes a water-service turn-on deposit when the customer was delinquent on a City water account within the previous 12 months; the amount is stated as two months of consumption cost. The reviewed source did not publish a universal startup deposit for all customers.
