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. CPNMD says bills are sent monthly, meter readings are taken as close to the end of the calendar month as possible, and wastewater charges are recalculated from the preceding December-January-February average beginning each March.
- Rate structure
- Individualized budget-based increasing tiers. In-district residential customers receive a budget based on lot size and seasonal assumptions; Tier 1 is within budget, Tier 2 is 100.01%-120% over budget, Tier 3 is 120.01%-140% over budget, and Tier 4 is above 140%. The 2026 3/4-inch schedule lists water usage at $5.60, $7.26, $10.37, and $19.61 per 1,000 gallons across those tiers, with a $12.94 monthly water service charge and a $34.65 3/4-inch capital-maintenance charge. Winter budget is 5,000 gallons at Tier 1.
- Residential cost reference
- For a typical 3/4-inch in-district residential meter, the published 2026 fixed water charges alone are $47.59 monthly ($12.94 customer charge plus $34.65 capital-maintenance charge), before usage and wastewater. At 5,000 gallons in the winter budget, water usage adds approximately $28.00, while the 2026 wastewater schedule adds a $16.31 fixed charge plus usage at $8.03 per 1,000 gallons; actual household bills vary with the individualized budget and winter-average sewer quantity.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential wastewater use is based on average winter water consumption so irrigation does not inflate sewer charges. CPNMD averages December, January, and February consumption beginning each March and uses that result as the wastewater gallons charged for the following 12 months, regardless of monthly water-use fluctuations. The 2026 in-district schedule lists a $16.31 monthly wastewater charge and $8.03 per 1,000 gallons.
- Meter reading
- CPNMD states that residential meters may be in a basement, crawlspace, or exterior meter pit and that readings are submitted close to the end of each month for monthly billing. The District's operations team handles meter reading and provides 24-hour support, but the public 2026 pages reviewed do not identify a specific AMI/AMR manufacturer or radio-transmission architecture.
- New-account deposit
- The 2026 schedule does not identify a universal residential startup deposit or credit-check waiver. New development is subject to a $28,650/SFE water-connect fee, $7,417/SFE wastewater-connect fee, $15,175/SFE renewable-water-resources fee, $650/SFE new-construction meter charge and inspection fee, and a $51,892/SFE total tap fee. Hydrant meters have a $1,100 deposit.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The 2026 fee schedule lists a $75 connection-transfer fee. Turning on a new development connection is governed by the separate tap and connection charges, while a $125 turn-off service fee is listed for a service shutoff request.
