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; the Authority’s bank-draft instructions state that customers continue to receive a monthly water/sewer bill even when automatic withdrawal is active.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block tiers for a standard 5/8-inch meter: $13.50 water base and $7.65 sewer base; water consumption tiers are $6.05 per 1,000 gallons for Tier I, $7.55 for Tier II, and $12.10 for Tier III, with the tier breakpoints shown in the official 2025-2026 chart.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $99.00 at 5,000 gallons for a standard 5/8-inch account when including $13.50 water base, $30.25 Tier-I water use, $7.65 sewer base, $43.60 sewer treatment on 80% of water use at the Tier-I $10.90 rate, and the published $4 stormwater ERU charge. Actual bills vary with meter size, stormwater status, and any other charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The Authority levies sewer treatment on 80% of metered water consumption. The 2025-2026 rate chart states $10.90 per 1,000 gallons for Tier I and $12.70 per 1,000 gallons for Tier II and III, applied to 80% of water consumption for all meter sizes, in addition to the sewer base charge.
- Meter reading
- The Authority’s materials refer to AMR endpoints in its meter-replacement charges and its self-service system provides usage/billing history, but the reviewed pages do not publish the percentage of AMR deployment or a universal read/transmission interval.
- New-account deposit
- The 2025-2026 impact-fee chart includes a $50 deposit within the listed new 5/8-inch water total of $1,975 and a $75 sewer deposit within the listed new 5/8-inch sewer total of $4,675. The reviewed materials do not publish a credit-check waiver or return-after-good-standing rule for ordinary residential accounts.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $25 application fee; the rate chart also lists a $50 same-day service initiation fee. New 5/8-inch connection totals shown by the Authority include installation and impact components, so the final amount depends on the service and connection type.
