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. PWSD issues bills around the 7th of each month, and payment for the billed balance is due by the last day of the month in which it was billed.
- Rate structure
- Increasing-block residential water rates plus fixed monthly water and long-term-resource fees. Effective January 1, 2026, the residential schedule is $35.02 water service, $4.50 long-term water, $2.72 per 1,000 gallons for the first 6,000 gallons, $5.31 for additional use through 18,000 gallons, and $10.95 above 18,000. Wastewater usage is calculated using the first tier of metered use or the account’s winter average, whichever is lower.
- Residential cost reference
- At 6,000 gallons per month, the 2026 residential water portion is approximately $35.02 + $4.50 + (6 x $2.72) = $55.84. PWSD’s wastewater service fee and usage rate vary by the 2026 schedule, service area, winter-average factor, PILT, and stormwater collection, so a verified complete household total is not publicly documented in this record rather than estimated from an incomplete rate extraction.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- PWSD calculates wastewater usage using the lesser of first-tier metered water usage or the account’s Winter Average, which is based on December, January, and February consumption or an approved alternate calculation for non-conforming cases. Bills may also include fixed wastewater service, stormwater fees collected for the Town of Parker, and PILT fees for certain out-of-district customers.
- Meter reading
- PWSD bills from a monthly measured-consumption period and its new customer portal provides real-time water-usage tracking and leak alerts. The reviewed pages do not identify the exact meter hardware or radio-transmission interval; wastewater calculations use monthly readings and winter-average logic.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The 2026 miscellaneous schedule lists a $15 owner-transfer fee, or $100 if a final read was not ordered in advance. The District separately lists a $90 suspension fee and tap/development charges; routine residential turn-on fees are not separately stated in the reviewed customer page.
