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 or account-scheduled; the statement controls the individual billing period.
- Rate structure
- Metered residential water, sewerage, and drainage charges with a residential usage break around 6 CCF per month; 2025-26 schedules apply during the 2026 calendar year.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- DWSD bills sewerage separately alongside water and drainage. A customer-side leak that does not enter the sewer may support a sewer-charge review, but the reviewed official material did not expose a single universal winter-average formula.
