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 customer billing, with rates and fixed charges set by legacy service division and meter size.
- Rate structure
- Monthly fixed charge plus potable or recycled water use charge per CCF, where one CCF equals 748 gallons. Effective July 1, 2026, the potable use charge is $3.03 per CCF; a 5/8-inch fixed charge is $18.83. Santa Clarita and Valencia legacy divisions retain separate fixed-charge schedules and legacy debt charges.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 5/8-inch meter using 5,000-7,000 gallons, approximately 6.7-9.4 CCF at $3.03 is $20-$29 in usage plus the $18.83 fixed charge, before wastewater, legacy debt, recycled-water status, and other charges. The reviewed rate table does not provide one universal complete household total.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- SCV Water’s reviewed rate page primarily publishes potable and recycled water charges; wastewater treatment/collection may be billed by the applicable local provider. No universal SCV Water winter-average sewer formula was exposed.
- Meter reading
- SCV Water’s schedule lists AMI/AMR opt-out setup, monthly, and re-read fees, confirming deployment of automated meter reading technology. The reviewed pages do not promise an hourly transmission interval; monthly billing is standard.
- New-account deposit
- The current rate schedule lists a $20 application fee and, when required, a deposit equal to three months of average use. The reviewed pages do not state a universal credit-check waiver or refund period.
- Activation or transfer fee
- A $20 potable or recycled water service application fee is listed. Other activation, transfer, meter, and legacy-division charges vary by account.
