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 utility fees. The 2026 residential schedule presents monthly water-resource, water-use, sewer, clean-water, stormwater, parks, recreation, and street-lighting charges.
- Rate structure
- Monthly fixed charges plus increasing usage blocks above the 5,000-gallon allotment. Effective January 1, 2026, residential water-resource fee is $45.13/month, water-use fee is $23.58/month, then usage above 5,000 gallons is $6.38 per 1,000 gallons through 10,000, $7.45 through 15,000, $10.28 through 20,000, $27.65 through 30,000, and $33.32 above 30,000 gallons. Outdoor watering restrictions can add conservation penalties.
- Residential cost reference
- The adopted 2026 schedule sets a minimum monthly fee of $252.72 because the utility bill includes water-resource and use charges, sewer, an $11 clean-water surcharge, an $8 stormwater fee, parks and grounds, recreation facilities, and street lighting. At 5,000 gallons the water usage component remains within the $23.58 base water-use fee; the total bill can be higher for usage above allotment or property-specific charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The 2026 residential sewer charge is $62.73 per single-family equivalent per month. The public 2026 schedule does not show a separate residential volumetric sewer rate; sewer is billed as part of the fixed monthly service package, while water usage is metered and tiered.
- Meter reading
- The reviewed Meridian Service pages provide online account and water-bill access but do not identify a meter manufacturer, AMR/AMI architecture, or standard read date. Customers should contact the District for address-specific meter and consumption questions.
- New-account deposit
- The 2026 schedule does not identify a universal residential deposit or credit-check waiver. New service is subject to tap fees of $15,350 water plus $11,500 sewer for a 3/4-inch single-family-equivalent tap, and an $850 meter-set/construction-water fee per connection.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The adopted 2026 schedule lists a $60 transfer-of-account fee, a $150 water-service turn-on fee, and an $850 meter-set/construction-water fee per connection. Tap fees must be paid before the District issues a tap-fee receipt.
