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 for commodity water consumption and fixed monthly base charges; the annual capital finance charge is collected on the property tax bill.
- Rate structure
- Commodity rate per CCF plus fixed monthly meter charge and fixed annual capital finance charge. Effective July 1, 2026, the current commodity rate is $4.24/CCF, 5/8- and 3/4-inch monthly base charge is $41.93, and the annual 5/8- or 3/4-inch capital finance charge is $133.12.
- Residential cost reference
- About $94.97 in water charges at 7,000 gallons (9.36 CCF): $41.93 base plus approximately $39.67 commodity, before the $133.12 annual capital charge, sewer main-maintenance charge, and any other property-billed components. Exact total depends on service area and sewer availability.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Where sewer is available, YLWD identifies a separate monthly sewer-main-maintenance charge; the reviewed water-rate page does not provide a universal sewer consumption formula or winter average. Customers should use the district's separate sewer rate schedule and statement.
- Meter reading
- YLWD bills monthly CCF usage and publishes a meter-reading/leak-detection guide, but the reviewed sources do not identify a universal AMI/AMR platform or fixed transmission cadence.
- New-account deposit
- Residential deposit is based on a soft credit check: Green risk requires none, Yellow risk $205, and Red risk $370; poor payment history requires the full $370. Poor history includes three delinquent payments, two NSF/ACH rejections, or a shutoff within 12 months.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $50 new account setup fee when a new tenant or owner establishes water service.
