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 Department reports producing more than 68,000 customer invoices monthly and reads more than 80,000 meters.
- Rate structure
- Metered water and sewer billing with residential tiered usage rates. The City provides an Average Winter Consumption process for sewer billing and a current Water & Sewer Rates page, but the reviewed extract did not expose the complete 2026 dollar schedule.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Shreveport uses Average Winter Consumption (AWC) for wastewater/sewer calculations; the customer-service page provides a dedicated AWC explanation. The reviewed extract did not expose the exact current averaging months or dollar formula, so the account's AWC and adopted rate schedule control.
- Meter reading
- The Department reads more than 80,000 meters monthly and provides a dedicated How to Read Your Water Meter resource. The reviewed pages did not identify a universal AMI/AMR technology or automated transmission interval.
