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. Active accounts are billed for water, wastewater, sanitation/recycling, stormwater, and applicable utility tax.
- Rate structure
- Metered water usage in CCF/hundred-cubic-foot units plus fixed water service charges and a 10% utility tax on residential/general water service charge and usage. One CCF equals 748 gallons; the current rate schedule is service- and meter-specific.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Wastewater is billed monthly with a fixed residential/general wastewater service charge and a usage component for the metered service; stormwater and sanitation are separate charges. The City’s bill explanation does not describe a winter-average sewer calculation.
- Meter reading
- Bills display previous and current meter readings, service dates, and CCF usage. The public pages describe meter readers and usage history but do not identify a universal AMI/AMR platform or transmission interval.
- New-account deposit
- Deposits are required from every customer except governmental entities. Single-family residential deposits may be billed with the first monthly statement; multi-family and commercial deposits are retained until closure, and commercial deposits are due before connection. Minimum amounts are set by the current resolution; single-family residential customers with 12 consecutive on-time months receive the deposit as a bill credit, while a later delinquency can require a new deposit.
- Activation or transfer fee
- A one-time non-refundable service initiation fee is charged on activation; the current FAQ does not state the amount. Name changes and transfers can require a new deposit depending on the reason and account status.
