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; Port St. Lucie’s code states that water, wastewater, and reclaimed-water bills are rendered monthly and become due when rendered.
- Rate structure
- Metered inclining-block water rates designed to promote conservation, with base facility, customer-account, and consumption charges. The City’s October 1, 2025 rate update applies during 2026; the reviewed guide identifies the inclining structure but did not expose every 2026 residential tier amount in accessible text.
- Residential cost reference
- The City’s 2025-26 customer guide uses an average combined water and sewer bill of $93.19 as an example; actual 5,000-7,000-gallon cost varies by meter, consumption, reclaimed-water status, and sewer cap.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Port St. Lucie bills wastewater separately but requires concurrent payment when both services are provided. The published utility schedule uses a wastewater base facility charge and consumption charges, and the sewer consumption schedule caps at 10,000 gallons in the accessible rate extract; a winter-average formula was not identified.
- New-account deposit
- Before service, the City requires credit establishment or a deposit. The online application lists $70 for water and $110 for wastewater, payable before activation; the deposit may be refunded at discontinuance less amounts due, and service is not activated until received.
- Activation or transfer fee
- Service charges apply when service is initiated; the reviewed application also states a $300 cancellation fee for a water/wastewater service application and a $45.50 recording fee when the 10-year interest-free loan option is selected. Transfer and change-of-occupancy rules require written notice, with deposits transferable between service locations in specified circumstances.
