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. ECCV reads water meters monthly for billing, and the $10 administrative fee covers meter maintenance, meter reading, statements, and mailing.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block rates with a 2026 drought-pricing surcharge on the upper tiers. Standard residential rates are $5.15 per 1,000 gallons for 0-5,000, $8.30 for 6,000-18,000, $12.10 for 19,000-28,000, and $14.55 for 29,000 gallons and above. Effective May 1, 2026, drought pricing replaces the third tier with $13.31 and the upper tier with $16.73. Fixed charges are $10 administrative, $30 Sustainable Water Assurance, and $45.50 sewer monthly.
- Residential cost reference
- At 5,000 gallons, the 2026 standard water usage is approximately $25.75, plus $10 administrative, $30 Sustainable Water Assurance, and $45.50 sewer, for an illustrative $111.25 monthly bill before any other account-specific charges. Drought pricing does not change this first 5,000-gallon tier; higher use can trigger the drought-priced upper tiers.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- ECCV bills sanitary sewer as a flat monthly fee of $45.50 per residential unit, regardless of use; the fee covers delivery and treatment of wastewater. Water use is separately charged through the increasing water tiers, so the public rate sheet does not describe a winter-average sewer calculation.
- Meter reading
- ECCV reads water meters monthly for billing and offers EyeOnWater consumption data and leak alerts. The public pages reviewed do not identify the specific AMI/AMR manufacturer or a universal read date, but the administrative fee explicitly includes meter maintenance and reading.
- New-account deposit
- The reviewed 2026 public pages do not publish a universal refundable residential startup deposit or credit-check waiver. ECCV's new-service and meter-availability materials state that tap fees must be paid in full before an availability letter or meter is released.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The 2026 schedule lists a $12 new-service fee assessed each time a new resident account is established for an address. Title companies handle transfers and closings; the seller does not stop service and the buyer's service transfers at closing, with a final read requested at least 48 hours in advance.
