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. Pinery converted from bimonthly to monthly billing in 2013; the payment page says ACH is debited on the bill due date and portal accounts are updated regularly.
- Rate structure
- Five increasing water usage blocks plus fixed base and water-project charges. Effective January 1, 2026, a 3/4-inch residential meter has a $21.64 base rate, $2.82 per 1,000 gallons for 0-5,000 gallons, $4.42 for 5,001-20,000, $5.59 for 20,001-30,000, $7.27 for 30,001-50,000, and $11.79 above 50,000, plus a $12.50 monthly water-project fee. Stage 3 drought restrictions began May 1, 2026, with mandatory schedules and violation fees.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 3/4-inch residential meter using 5,000 gallons, the 2026 water base and project charges are $34.14 plus approximately $14.10 usage, or $48.24 water before sewer and other fees. The published 2026 sewer schedule charges $39.00 for 0-5,000 gallons of winter-average use and $57.29 above 5,000, yielding an illustrative water-and-sewer total near $87.24 at 5,000 gallons before groundwater-protection or other account charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential sewer is based on average monthly winter water use from November-February. The 2026 schedule lists $39.00 for a 0-5,000-gallon winter average and $57.29 above 5,000 gallons. Out-of-district wholesale wastewater is billed by actual flow at $7.80 per 1,000 gallons; ordinary residential bills use the winter-average schedule.
- Meter reading
- Pinery bills monthly and provides an EyeOnWater service for daily, hourly, and 15-minute consumption and leak alerts. District operations staff read, monitor, maintain, and convert meters to newer technology; the reviewed 2026 pages do not identify the specific AMI/AMR manufacturer or a universal calendar read date.
- New-account deposit
- The 2026 tap schedule lists a 3/4-inch single-family residential water fee of $42,845 and sewer fee of $16,482, for a $59,327 total tap and connection fee. The reviewed pages do not publish a universal refundable residential account deposit, credit-check waiver, or deposit-return rule.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The 2026 rate schedule lists a $45 transfer fee, $110 shutoff fee, $55 courtesy turn-on/turn-off fee, and a $165 residential meter-test fee. Title companies must submit transfer requests at least 48 hours before closing so a final read can be completed on the closing date.
