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. Miramar Utilities conducts monthly meter readings, inputs readings into its billing database, and calculates, prints, and mails monthly water/utility bills.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block water consumption structure for single-unit residential accounts: a $23.38 monthly water service charge, $5.55 per thousand gallons for the first 5,000 gallons, $6.80 for the next 10,000, and $8.55 for the next 15,000; higher-use schedules are separately defined. Residential wastewater has a $27.37 monthly service charge and $7.74 per thousand gallons. A 10% water utility tax applies to the water charge. Multi-unit accounts use separate per-unit charges.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $114.90 per month for a single-unit residential account using 5,000 gallons, before sanitation/stormwater or other charges: $23.38 water service plus $27.75 water consumption, $5.11 water tax, and $27.37 wastewater service plus $38.70 wastewater consumption. Actual bills depend on sanitation, service class, meter, and current adopted rate schedule.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential wastewater combines a $27.37 monthly service charge with $7.74 per thousand gallons of billed consumption. The public rate page does not publish a winter-average calculation; the City’s leak policy adjusts only the sewer component by comparing the affected months with an average of months before the problem.
- Meter reading
- Miramar Utilities conducts meter readings monthly; readings are entered into the billing database and used to calculate, print, and mail bills. The public Water Billing Division page does not identify an AMI/AMR vendor or hourly telemetry schedule. Customers can learn to read the meter and use the low-flow indicator to detect leaks; the City’s systems support monthly account history and usage billing.
- New-account deposit
- For a 5/8-inch residential owner account, the deposit is $125; for a 5/8-inch tenant/rental account, it is $250. Multi-unit deposits are $125 per unit, and deposits for larger meters vary by meter size; the City requires customers to call 954-602-HELP for the amount. Commercial deposits in the current application range from $125/$250 for a 5/8-inch meter to $192.50 for 1-inch, $475 for 1.5-inch, $660 for 2-inch, $1,100 for 3-inch, and director-determined amounts for 4-inch and larger. No credit-check waiver is published.
- Activation or transfer fee
- A $30 new-account setup fee applies to all accounts. Owners establish service at City Hall or the East Multi-Service Complex with a signed closing disclosure/settlement statement or recorded warranty deed, photo ID, deposit, and application. Tenants provide an original signed lease, photo ID, $250 5/8-inch deposit, and the $30 setup fee. Closing an account carries a $30 account-termination fee; final bills/refund checks can take up to six weeks.
