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
- Bills are due by the 5th of the following month according to the City's utility application materials, indicating a regular monthly billing cycle; confirm the exact statement period on the account bill.
- Rate structure
- Metered municipal water with tiered usage pricing and separate sewer, drainage, solid-waste and street-sweeping charges. The City says the rate plan was designed to reduce usage by approximately 20-28%; the reviewed page links the current schedules and studies rather than reproducing every 2026 tier amount.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Madera bills sewer as a separate municipal utility component alongside water. The reviewed current pages do not state a winter-average calculation or a fixed percentage of water intake; customers should use the City's linked sewer-rate schedule and statement line items.
- Meter reading
- Madera accepts requests for meter checks or maintenance and publishes a water-meter/leak reporting process. The reviewed pages do not identify AMI/AMR technology, transmission interval or fixed reading schedule.
- New-account deposit
- If service is restored after delinquency and the account has no deposit, Madera requires one; the reviewed current pages do not state the universal residential dollar amount, credit-check waiver or refund schedule.
