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
- Quarterly is the normal water tariff basis because the 5/8-inch service charge is quarterly; sewer users may be billed monthly or quarterly depending on the account and the City's available water-consumption read.
- Rate structure
- Uniform volumetric water rate plus a quarterly meter service charge. Effective July 1, 2026, water is $3.50 per CCF, with a $24 quarterly service charge for a typical 5/8-inch meter and $120 quarterly for meters larger than 5/8 inch. One CCF is 748 gallons; fire-service charges are separate annual charges by connection size.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $68 per month for a typical 5/8-inch account using 6,000 gallons per month, or about 24 CCF per quarter: water is roughly $108 per quarter ($84 usage plus $24 service) and sewer is roughly $95 per quarter at the July 2026 use and capital-recovery charges. Actual billing frequency, minimums and service area can change the result.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Waterbury sewer is based on annual or available water-meter consumption; where consumption cannot be determined, the City estimates usage. The July 1, 2026 sewer schedule lists a $2.472 per CCF sewer-use charge plus a $1.481 per CCF Capitol Recovery Charge. The approved sewer information says users may be billed monthly or quarterly; it does not use a winter-average formula.
- Meter reading
- Waterbury's Radio Frequency Program installs automated reading devices that send a low-power radio signal to a City vehicle driving the street, reducing manual reads and estimated bills. The reviewed program does not publish a universal monthly/quarterly route date; billing may be monthly or quarterly according to the account.
