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
- Quarterly. City ordinance provides that water and sewer bills are issued each quarter unless service is terminated by written request.
- Rate structure
- Quarterly base-plus-tier structure. FY2026 inside-city residential water for a meter one inch or less has a $15.12 base, $4.77 per 1,000 gallons for 1-7,000, $9.55 for 7,001-20,000, and $14.31 above 20,000.
- Residential cost reference
- The City’s FY2026 sample quarterly bill for a 5/8-inch meter using 10,000 gallons is $300.12 including water, sewer, refuse, and watershed restoration; that averages approximately $100.04 per month.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- FY2026 sewer for a meter one inch or less has a $14.94 quarterly base and $6.57 per 1,000 gallons for residential consumption. Annapolis bills water and sewer together, with separate stormwater and watershed-restoration components.
- Meter reading
- The City bills consumption from water-meter readings and publishes a Water Meters page; the reviewed official pages do not identify AMR/AMI technology or exact read cadence.
