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. The 2026 rate schedule expresses water and sewer ready-to-serve charges quarterly and uses a winter quarter for residential sewer billing.
- Rate structure
- Fixed quarterly ready-to-serve charge plus a uniform water commodity rate and a winter-average sewer calculation. Effective July 1, 2026, a 5/8-inch water ready-to-serve charge is $35.54 per quarter and water commodity is $2.46 per 100 cubic feet. A 5/8-inch-or-smaller sewer ready-to-serve charge is $26.54 per quarter and sewer commodity is $4.82 per billing unit.
- Residential cost reference
- For a typical 5,000-7,000 gallon month, water is about 6.7-9.4 units; a 5/8-inch account pays approximately $35.54 quarterly water readiness plus consumption. Sewer uses a minimum of 10 winter billing units in the published rule, so the sewer side is about $26.54 + (10 x $4.82) quarterly before any higher winter average. A representative water/sewer total is roughly $42-$50 per month before other municipal services, late charges or nonstandard meter sizes.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential sewer units equal 1.15 times water use for a winter quarter defined as any three months between November 1 and April 30; if that winter use is below 10 billing units, 10 units are used, and sewer units cannot exceed total water use for the particular quarter. The 2026 sewer charge is $4.82 per unit plus the meter-size ready-to-serve charge.
- Meter reading
- Olameter Corporation reads the exterior touchpad from the 1st through the 10th of each month. Wyoming also operates a WaterSmart customer portal for usage tracking and lists a $30-per-read AMI opt-out fee in the effective July 1, 2026 fee schedule, indicating remote/AMI-capable infrastructure.
- New-account deposit
- Renters starting water/sewer service must pay a $150 deposit; it is applied to the final bill when moving out or refunded if no balance is due. Buyers submit transfer documents and identification rather than the renter deposit. The City does not describe a credit-check waiver.
- Activation or transfer fee
- No general residential activation or transfer fee was identified. Buyers/renters must submit the required transfer documents, and the City may discontinue service if required records are not provided. Separate construction, meter and system-development fees apply to new infrastructure.
