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
- Bimonthly. Boca’s adopted fee schedule describes bimonthly water and sewer rates.
- Rate structure
- Bimonthly water charges combine a customer charge, capacity charge, and commodity charge per 1,000 gallons. The 2025-2026 schedule lists in-city residential charges of $8.13 per meter, $27.93 capacity per unit, and commodity tiers of $1.05 per 1,000 gallons through 25,000 gallons, $2.54 from 25,001-50,000, and $3.27 above 50,000; outside-city service has a 25% surcharge and all water charges are subject to a 10% public utility tax.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $40.83 per month equivalent for 5,000 gallons per month on an in-city single-family account with one bathroom, excluding sanitation and stormwater: two-month water is about $46.56, sewer $30.44, and the 10% water public-utility tax about $4.66, for about $81.66 per bimonthly bill. Actual household bills vary by account classification and other utility services.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential sewer is billed bimonthly primarily by bathroom count rather than water intake: the 2025-2026 in-city schedule lists $30.44 for the first bathroom unit and $15.19 for each additional bathroom. Nonresidential sewer is $4.99 per 1,000 gallons in city and $6.24 outside city; outside-city residential and sewer charges carry a 25% surcharge.
- Meter reading
- The City’s new portal provides a two-year water-usage chart and bill history, while the public meter materials describe customer meter reading and leak detection. The City does not identify a universal AMI/AMR platform or transmission interval.
- New-account deposit
- A deposit is required to establish service. Residential deposit amount depends on credit verification and the current fee resolution; the FAQ states single-family deposits may be billed with the first monthly statement, while multi-family and commercial deposits are retained until closure. Twelve consecutive on-time months result in a single-family deposit credit.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The current public FAQ says activation carries a one-time nonrefundable service-initiation fee but does not state the amount. Moving service is established in the owner or occupant’s name unless the landlord specifies otherwise; name changes can require a new deposit.
