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 describes monthly residential billing and a monthly base charge plus usage charge.
- Rate structure
- Base charge plus metered usage per thousand gallons, with separate water, wastewater, and stormwater charges. The Authority’s public FAQ says an average household uses about 5,000 gallons per month and directs customers to the current rate-and-fee chart for the active amounts.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- DDCWSA bills water and sanitary sewer as separate utility services and publishes a current rate-and-impact-fee chart, but the public customer pages reviewed do not state a single universal winter-average or percentage formula. The exact wastewater charge therefore depends on the active tariff, metered usage, service configuration, and any stormwater charges shown on the statement.
- Meter reading
- DDCWSA requires customers to keep shrubs, plants, and trees clear so meter readers can access the meter and describes full-access meter reading. The reviewed public pages do not identify AMI/AMR transmission technology or a fixed reading date; the billing statement remains the authoritative record.
- New-account deposit
- Residential deposits depend on service and meter size: $50-$125 for a home receiving water only on septic, or $125-$275 for a home receiving water and sewer. The exact amount must be confirmed with customer service. Required forms, proof of ownership or lease/rental agreement, and the deposit must be received to establish service. No published credit-check waiver or on-time refund schedule was found.
- Activation or transfer fee
- A $25 application fee is assessed on the first bill when a new account is established. New taps and development connections may also incur separate water/sewer impact, installation, inspection, and meter-related charges; those are connection charges rather than a simple resident name-transfer fee.
