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. Water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, street lights, recycling, and related fees are billed quarterly.
- Rate structure
- 2026 conservation tiers plus a quarterly base charge. Residential water base is $35.61 per quarter; usage is $5.94 per 1,000 gallons for 0-30,000 gallons, $7.41 for 31,000-60,000, and $11.05 above 60,000 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- The 2026 minimum residential bill is $227.17 per quarter with no water usage, or about $75.72 per month before additional usage. At 6,000 gallons per quarter, water adds $35.64, while the combined quarterly total is approximately $262.81 before any other account adjustments.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential sanitary sewer is a flat quarterly fee: $117.18 for a single-family account, $82.79 per apartment unit, or $64.44 for an approved senior rate. Non-residential sewer is $4.98 per 1,000 gallons of quarterly water use.
- Meter reading
- Residential meters are read by Public Utilities in the week before billing; unreadable meters are estimated from prior usage. The reviewed source does not identify AMI/AMR technology.
- New-account deposit
- The City’s 2026 resident information lists a $149 meter charge for a 5/8- or 3/4-inch meter; it does not describe a standard refundable customer deposit or credit-check waiver.
- Activation or transfer fee
- Turn-on fee is $31 during normal hours and $83 after hours, weekends, and holidays. A $50 certification fee applies when delinquent balances are transferred to property-tax special assessment.
