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; the City’s bank-draft form authorizes a monthly utility bill draft on the 4th day of the month.
- Rate structure
- Base allowance plus uniform per-1,000-gallon usage charge, with inside-city and outside-city rates and separate residential/commercial schedules. Sewer also has a base allowance and per-1,000-gallon usage charge.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $28.71 per month inside the City for 6,000 gallons: water is about $10.21 ($8.16 for the first 3,500 gallons plus $0.82 per additional 1,000) and sewer is about $18.50 ($15.30 plus $1.28 per additional 1,000). The hosted rate sheet does not state a current effective date, so verify before publication as a 2026 tariff.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Inside-city residential sewer is $15.30 for the first 3,500 gallons plus $1.28 per additional 1,000 gallons; West Rankin sewer customers are charged a separate $3.91 per 1,000-gallon line. Outside-city and commercial schedules differ.
- Meter reading
- The application provides for actual meter readings and estimated bills when a meter is defective or readings are otherwise erroneous, using recent correct readings or another appropriate method. The reviewed material did not identify AMR/AMI technology or the normal reading schedule.
- New-account deposit
- A required water-meter deposit is held as a payment guarantee. If applied to water or sewer arrears, the customer must replenish it in full before service resumes; on cancellation or expiration, the remaining deposit is returned after amounts due are deducted. The current dollar amount was not published in the reviewed application.
