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. Broward’s new-service application states that WWS accounts are billed monthly and customers must contact Customer Service if a bill is not received to avoid late charges or interruption.
- Rate structure
- FY2026 increasing-block residential water with a $5.49 monthly customer charge and a meter-size minimum charge. Single-family water volume is $2.14 per 1,000 gallons for 0-3,000 gallons, $3.86 for 4,000-6,000, $9.04 for 7,000-12,000, and $10.95 above 12,000. A 5/8-inch single-family meter has a $16.64 water minimum; wastewater has a $26.52 minimum and $5.48 per 1,000 gallons through 15,000 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- At 6,000 gallons on a 5/8-inch single-family meter, the FY2026 water estimate is $16.64 minimum plus the applicable volume schedule; wastewater is $26.52 minimum plus the applicable $5.48 per 1,000-gallon charge through 15,000 gallons. Because the county page’s minimum and volume presentation is not fully additive in the accessible table, an exact combined total is marked not publicly documented rather than double-counted.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Single-family wastewater uses a $26.52 monthly 5/8-inch minimum and $5.48 per 1,000 gallons for 0-15,000 gallons; the FY2026 schedule states no change over 15,000. Multiple-family wastewater uses different per-unit minimums and an 8,000-gallon threshold. WWS bills water and wastewater monthly on the same county account.
- Meter reading
- Broward WWS bills from monthly metered consumption and its online bill-reading material exposes account consumption information. The reviewed BCWWS 1A customer pages do not identify the meter manufacturer, AMI/AMR radio interval, or route-reading schedule.
- New-account deposit
- Broward’s service application includes an account security-deposit field and states that the deposit is refunded only to the named applicant after the account is closed and all charges are satisfied. The reviewed public materials do not expose the standard BCWWS 1A residential deposit amount or credit-check waiver.
