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; bills are mailed at the beginning of the month and are due 20 days after the bill date.
- Rate structure
- Metered uniform commodity rates plus fixed quarterly billing and meter charges. Effective July 1, 2026, the 5/8-inch water commodity rate is $5.86 per 1,000 gallons, with a $17.68 quarterly water billing charge and $27.94 quarterly meter charge.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $151.33 per month for a 24,000-gallon quarterly household equivalent (the City's 4-person/24,000-gallon example is $454.00 per quarter), including water and sewer; the result is an average, not a monthly bill issued by the City.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer is metered against the same water consumption. Effective July 1, 2026, the published sewer commodity rate is $8.77 per 1,000 gallons, with a $10.91 quarterly billing charge and $46.35 quarterly 5/8-inch meter charge. The City example combines water and sewer for 6,000 gallons per person per quarter.
- Meter reading
- The City bills from metered consumption, but the reviewed official page did not identify whether meters use AMR/AMI or state the exact field-reading schedule. An out-of-sequence meter read is listed at $25.
