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
- Residential bills for prior-month use are mailed every two months; commercial accounts are billed monthly. Bills are due upon receipt.
- Rate structure
- The current official page links to the City's water-rate code but does not expose the full 2026 rate table in accessible text. Vallejo's public comparison material describes an average single-family 3/4-inch meter at 5,984 gallons, while current billing remains meter-based. The record therefore identifies a metered municipal schedule without inventing unpublished 2026 tier values.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- For residential property and most businesses, Vallejo wastewater and stormwater charges are collected through property-tax billing rather than the City's direct water bill, according to the Vallejo wastewater authority page. The reviewed water-billing page does not publish a winter-average or water-intake percentage formula.
- Meter reading
- Vallejo is updating all water meters; the City states that most of its approximately 38,000 meters are beyond their useful life and that replacement meters will use advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). The public page states that a closing meter read is taken within one business day of the requested closing date or request, whichever is later; it does not publish a universal routine-read calendar.
- New-account deposit
- A water security deposit is due when a new account is established, and a new deposit may be required when moving to another Vallejo location unless the applicant satisfies City exemption criteria. The amount depends on property classification; commercial and multi-residential customers must contact Customer Service. The deposit is applied to the closing bill and any remaining credit is refunded.
- Activation or transfer fee
- Normal start requests must be made at least two business days in advance. Same-day activation requires notice before 5:00 p.m. and a $144 water turn-on fee paid before that deadline. The reviewed public page does not publish a universal transfer fee.
