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, three-month billing. The 2026 fee schedule labels Waterford Township water-sewer quarterly billing charges.
- Rate structure
- Meter-size minimum charge plus usage tiers expressed per 100 cubic feet; customers outside the Township geographic boundary pay 1.5 times normal Township usage rates. For a 5/8-inch meter, the 2026 schedule lists a $22.30 quarterly minimum, 1,000 cubic feet allowed, $14.87 domestic over-minimum charge, and $2.80/$3.32 sprinkler minimum/over-minimum charges.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 5/8-inch customer using approximately 5,000 gallons in a quarter (about 668 cubic feet), water remains within the 1,000-cubic-foot minimum and the quarterly water charge is $22.30. Sewer is an $84.25 quarterly ready-to-serve charge plus $4.53 per 100 cubic feet where metered; the combined water/sewer component is therefore approximately $106.55 per quarter before other charges, or about $35.52 per month. Actual invoices depend on the quarterly read and local add-ons.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer charges are based on the water-meter reading, or a flat charge when the customer has no public water. The 2026 schedule lists $84.25 quarterly ready-to-serve and $4.53 per 100 cubic feet; flat sewer without public water is $148.00 quarterly, $63.75 higher because it is not metered and uses a statistical average.
- Meter reading
- Waterford uses a radio-based Fixed Network meter-reading system; readings and alerts are transmitted to DPW without entering the customer's property. The 2026 account cycle is quarterly, and the current meter-fee schedule separately lists AMR units and couplings.
