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 water and sewer billing; bills are based on meter readings and sewer is billed with water after the Eighth District merger.
- Rate structure
- Metered cubic-foot consumption pricing. Rates as of July 1, 2026 are $5.36 per 100 cubic feet water and $7.87 per 100 cubic feet sewer, plus applicable meter service charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer is billed by metered water consumption for ordinary accounts. The Town’s FAQ states it does not adjust a high sewer bill for ordinary leaks, but a pool-fill credit may be available with pool-volume documentation or leak/liner-repair documentation; residential bills are issued quarterly.
- Meter reading
- Meters are read on the Town’s billing cycle; the reviewed pages do not identify AMI/AMR technology or a transmission interval.
- Activation or transfer fee
- Connection fees apply to new development and meter/service connections; a standard residential account transfer fee was not exposed.
