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. Payment is due within 14 business days of billing, and the minimum monthly residential bill combines water, sewer, and garbage charges.
- Rate structure
- Monthly increasing-block structure: $9.22 per 1,000 gallons for the first 2,000 gallons and $10.03 per 1,000 gallons above 2,000, effective with the City’s October 1, 2025 increase.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $107.72 per month at 7,000 gallons for water and sewer plus garbage using the published minimum structure: $18.45 water minimum, $18.45 sewer minimum, $25 garbage, and usage charges of $9.22 for the first 2,000 gallons plus $10.03 for the remaining 5,000 gallons applied to each water/sewer component. The City’s published 5/8-inch minimum total is $61.90 before usage above the included minimum.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer uses the same water rates, except May 1-October 31 sewer charges may not exceed the average sewer rate paid during the previous six-month period. The published 5/8-inch minimum allocates $18.45 to sewer and $18.45 to water.
- Meter reading
- The City Utility Billing office reads water meters and provides meter guidance; the reviewed page does not identify current AMR/AMI technology or a precise schedule.
