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. Delray Beach states that monthly bills are calculated from water-meter readings and that the utility department manages monthly water and wastewater billing.
- Rate structure
- Metered monthly water, wastewater and reclaimed-water service under the City's 2026 residential Water/Sewer Rates schedule. The public customer page links the current rate document but does not expose all tier and base-charge values in HTML; the rate program is a consumption-based municipal schedule rather than a uniform flat bill.
- Residential cost reference
- A City rate-study/news release states that the average Delray Beach homeowner using approximately 6,000 gallons per month is projected to pay $75.66 for combined water and wastewater in 2026. A 5,000-7,000 gallon customer should therefore use about $75.66 as the published 6,000-gallon benchmark, with the actual bill varying by meter, usage, reclaimed-water status and other utility charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Delray Beach bills water and wastewater together on the monthly utility statement. The reviewed public pages link the 2026 residential Water/Sewer Rates schedule but do not expose a winter-average, sewer-cap or exact percentage-of-water formula in HTML; the published 2026 benchmark is the combined $75.66 average at 6,000 gallons.
- Meter reading
- Delray Beach states that monthly bills are calculated from water-meter readings, but the reviewed pages do not identify whether the address uses AMI or AMR, the transmission interval or a field-reading route. Customers can request account-specific meter information from the Water Utilities Department.
- New-account deposit
- The current public utility page exposes the new-account workflow but not a current 2026 residential deposit amount or waiver/refund rule. Customers should confirm the deposit at application because requirements can vary by account history and property status.
- Activation or transfer fee
- An archived City utility application identifies a $15 service-initiation charge appearing on the first bill; the current Tyler Enterprise ERP transition page does not restate a revised 2026 amount. Confirm the current initiation or transfer charge with Utility Billing before opening service.
