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 uses four billing cycles, mailing bills on the 1st, 5th, 15th or 19th according to location; customers have 15 days from the billing date to pay.
- Rate structure
- Uniform minimum charge plus increasing usage pricing, with different inside-city/within-one-mile and outside-city rates. The published schedule lists a 4,000-gallon minimum, a 4,000-20,000 gallon rate and a rate above 20,000 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- Inside city/within one mile: $11.60 minimum plus $3.13 per 1,000 gallons from 4,000-20,000 and $2.50 above 20,000, before sewer and other utility charges. At 5,000-7,000 gallons, water alone is approximately $14.73-$21.00 under the published schedule; outside-city rates differ.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer is billed as an $18.00 monthly charge plus $4.10 per 1,000 gallons based on water consumption. Customers without City water receive a $36.75 flat monthly sewer rate. From April through October, customers may report water use that did not require sewer treatment and request billing at the average of November-March winter consumption.
- Meter reading
- The City reads gas and water meters and bills monthly; the official page does not identify the AMI/AMR technology or exact reading date interval.
- New-account deposit
- New customers must pay a deposit for gas and water services; the official site links a deposit chart, but the reviewed text did not expose the current dollar amount or credit-waiver rules.
