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
- Bi-monthly; the district's billing page states owners are responsible for tenants' payments in full bi-monthly, and the residential service-availability fee is also quoted per bi-monthly billing.
- Rate structure
- Water-budget-based increasing tiers with separate wintertime and summertime residential schedules, plus fixed service availability, wastewater, infrastructure, stormwater and streetlight components. Effective for billing periods beginning January 1, 2026, standard residential usage is $5.69 per 1,000 gallons through 100% of budget, $7.66 at 101-120%, and $11.63 for summertime usage above 120%; wintertime above 120% is $7.66. Board-declared drought Stage 1/Stage 2 schedules may apply.
- Residential cost reference
- The district's 2026 FAQ estimates a typical single-family annual bill of $1,386, or approximately $115.50 per month, while staying within the property's water budget. The amount includes the district's multiple fixed and usage charges and is a benchmark rather than a guaranteed 5,000-7,000 gallon bill.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential wastewater is $48.46 base plus $5.08 per 1,000 gallons of wintertime water use above 3,000 gallons. The wintertime usage is reevaluated each spring; new accounts start at the minimum until winter data can establish the next billing period's wastewater budget. Multi-family and commercial formulas differ.
