- Rate structure
- Monthly base charge plus increasing block tiers. 2026 single-family water is $23.10 base plus $3.574 per 1,000 gallons through 7,000, $4.109 for 7,001-13,000, and $4.726 above 13,000. Multifamily rates are seasonal and 25% higher May-October.
- Residential cost reference
- At 7,000 gallons, the published 2026 single-family water comparison is approximately $49.46. A typical wastewater charge at the published 3,300-gallon WQA example is $38.24, before stormwater or other services.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential wastewater uses the average water consumption from December, January, and February, the winter quarter average (WQA). It is recalculated each April and applies until the following April; minimum WQA is 3,000 gallons for single-family and 4,000 for duplexes. The 2026 single-family sewer charge is $23.30 base plus $4.528 per 1,000 gallons of WQA.
- Meter reading
- MyWater provides usage tracking and the City uses WQA-based billing, but the reviewed pages do not identify a universal meter technology, vendor, or transmission interval. The City bill and account portal are authoritative for the current read.
