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 City’s 2026 sample utility bill is explicitly identified as a quarterly bill for a single-family residential customer.
- Rate structure
- Base water charge plus volume-related usage charge, with separate sanitary-sewer and stormwater components. The City states that 2026 water bills increased 10%, while sanitary sewer base rates increased 5% and sewer volume rates 3%; the current detailed tables are linked from the official bill page.
- Residential cost reference
- The City’s 2026 sample quarterly bill uses 18,000 gallons and shows $79.58 water, $127.43 sewer, and $41.07 stormwater, $248.08 total per quarter. That equals about $82.69 per month for all three components, or about $69.00 per month for water and sewer before stormwater; a 5,000-7,000-gallon monthly water-only estimate is not directly published.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sanitary sewer has a base rate and a volume-related rate tied to measured water consumption. The City explains that it pays the Metropolitan Council a treatment charge for each thousand gallons used and passes the applicable local base and volume charges through the quarterly utility bill; no winter-average formula was exposed.
- Meter reading
- The 2026 fee schedule identifies Mag/Iperl meters and radio heads, indicating radio-equipped meter infrastructure for at least applicable installations. The reviewed City pages do not state whether all residential accounts are AMR/AMI, the transmission interval, or the quarterly read schedule.
