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. Deltona states that actual usage is billed monthly from the prior and present meter reads; the online bill FAQ says the bill is due 20 days after the bill date, with prior unpaid balances due immediately.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block rates by 1,000 gallons, plus meter-size base charges and separate sewer, reclaimed-water, irrigation, and stormwater components. The FY26 master fee schedule uses a February 1, 2026 effective date and lists inside-city residential water blocks of 0-5,000 gallons, 5,001-10,000, 10,001-20,000, and over 20,000 gallons; the adopted water and wastewater user-rate adjustment is 1.60%.
- Residential cost reference
- For an inside-city 5/8-inch account using 6,000 gallons, the FY26 water portion alone is approximately $18.64 base plus $2.57 per 1,000 gallons for the first 5,000 and $5.19 for the next 1,000, or $36.68 before sewer, reclaimed/irrigation, stormwater, taxes, and other charges. A complete current combined total requires the account's service components and the applicable FY26 wastewater schedule.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Deltona bills wastewater as a separate base-and-usage component on the same monthly utility account. The City's published rate structure uses the customer's metered water/service volume and a distinct wastewater usage schedule; the first 2,000 gallons are included in the base facility charge in the prior posted residential schedule, with higher usage bands charged separately. Customers must use the FY26 adopted schedule for the exact current wastewater amount.
- Meter reading
- Deltona bills from prior and present meter reads on a monthly cycle. The reviewed City materials provide meter-reading and leak-detection guidance but do not clearly identify a universal AMI/AMR technology, remote-transmission cadence, or fixed route schedule.
- New-account deposit
- For a residential 5/8-inch by 3/4-inch meter, the published deposits are $40 water plus $175 sewer, or $215 total. Larger published totals are $365 for a 1-inch meter, $560 for a 1.5-inch meter, and $745 for a 2-inch meter. Deposits are non-interest-bearing; for residential accounts the City applies the deposit after 36 months with no delinquency or non-payment disconnect, while tenant deposits are held until account closure. A three-times-average-monthly-bill deposit can apply after repeated disconnects, returned checks, or insufficient credit history.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The current miscellaneous schedule lists a $35 service-initiation fee. Deltona's new-service rules require identification, Social Security number, and proof of occupancy; the City may require a maximum deposit when the applicant lacks a Social Security number or prior City credit history. The reviewed pages do not publish a separate name-transfer fee.
