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; Zachary reads water and gas meters monthly and bases utility billing on that recurring service cycle.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer user charges are based on average water consumption. Zachary re-averages the sewer basis once each August, and the sewer rate increases 4% in January; the sewer charge is an East Baton Rouge Parish processing fee. The reviewed page did not provide the current per-unit tariff or winter-average cap.
- Meter reading
- The City reads water meters monthly and has installed an automatic meter-reading (AMR) system. It links meter data transfer to the billing process; compatible meters may provide monthly, daily, or hourly data logs, although deployment is ongoing and not complete everywhere.
- New-account deposit
- Water deposit is $150 for new utility service. New applicants must appear in person with valid identification and a lease or purchase agreement; water/gas deposits are accepted only by cash, check, or money order. The reviewed pages did not state a credit-check waiver or return period.
- Activation or transfer fee
- A one-time $15 processing fee is billed when starting new utility services. The reviewed material did not state a separate name-transfer fee.
