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; Franklin code states that water bills are rendered monthly and are payable within 15 days.
- Rate structure
- Base-charge plus uniform volumetric usage pricing. The latest published code schedule reviewed lists a residential base for the first 2,000 gallons and a per-1,000-gallon charge above that amount; city and county service areas have different rates.
- Residential cost reference
- Using the latest published code schedule reviewed, an inside-city 6,000-gallon household would be approximately $47.24 for water and $34.09 for sewer, or about $81.33 combined. Those dollar amounts were last shown as effective in the older published schedule, so current 2026 confirmation is required before treating them as a current bill estimate.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The published schedule uses a base sewer charge for the first 2,000 gallons and a separate per-1,000-gallon charge above that amount. Separate irrigation meters do not incur sewer charges, and the code provides a limited one-time swimming-pool-fill adjustment under specified documentation rules.
- Meter reading
- The City offers customer-requested rereads and historical data logging; the first two rereads per year are free, later requests are $50, and data logging is listed at $50 subject to equipment-related exceptions. The reviewed code did not identify AMR/AMI or the normal monthly route schedule.
- New-account deposit
- Water deposit is $150 for a single-family account or $150 per meter for a duplex or apartment; larger meters require actual meter/install cost. The deposit is refundable after the final bill is paid, may be applied to delinquency, and must be replenished within 10 days after notice. Sewer-only deposits are separately listed by customer class.
