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; the District's FAQ describes a monthly meter service charge and monthly sewer charge.
- Rate structure
- Fixed meter service charge plus quantity charge per hundred cubic feet. The District's rules describe the service charge as covering meter reading and readiness-to-serve costs; the reviewed material did not expose the complete current 2026 residential rate table.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer is a separate monthly charge; the FAQ lists $14.69 per month for each single-family dwelling in the material reviewed. The District's March 2026 sewer-rate study proposes future changes, but the reviewed page did not establish the final 2026–27 billed amount.
- Meter reading
- The District describes a monthly meter service charge covering meter reading and maintenance, but does not identify AMR/AMI technology.
- New-account deposit
- A $75 deposit may be required to initiate water and sewer service. The deposit is waived for an owner who provides proof of ownership, such as a grant deed, property-tax bill, or closing statement; deposits are refunded less outstanding charges at termination.
