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; Waterworks says all meters are read each month and the bill includes monthly minimums and usage.
- Rate structure
- Increasing-block usage rates effective January 1, 2026: $4.00 monthly minimum, $4.65 per 1,000 gallons through 8,000, $6.73 from 8,001-10,000 and $8.55 above 10,000.
- Residential cost reference
- The Parish publishes an average 5,400-gallon monthly residential bill of $28.52 water, $46.21 wastewater, $21.12 garbage and $1 safe-drinking-water fee, totaling $96.85 before any tax or account-specific adjustment.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Wastewater effective January 1, 2026 is $4.24 monthly minimum plus $9.97 per 1,000 gallons at 100% usage. Commercial accounts may be charged at 95%, second residential meters at 90% or eligible accounts at 80%; the FAQ says the sewer rate billed is 80% of the actual rate to allow for non-sewer usage in the ordinary residential structure.
- Meter reading
- All meters are read each month; readings are in gallons/hundreds of gallons and may be estimated only when repeated access or meter problems prevent a read. The reviewed materials do not identify AMI/AMR telemetry.
- New-account deposit
- A refundable meter deposit is required before opening service; a standard 5/8-inch x 3/4-inch residential meter deposit is $180, with other meter sizes and second-residential deposits listed separately.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $30 to read and/or open existing service. Meter deposits may transfer from a closed account to a new account if the transfer is completed within five working days.
