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.
- Rate structure
- Winter-average water-budget tiers effective under the FY2026 rate structure. A 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch base charge is $14.32 per month; usage is $2.661 per ccf for Tier 1, $7.324 for Tier 2, and $11.801 for Tier 3. Winter average is the January-February-March average updated annually; tiers apply year-round, and separately metered lawn irrigation is billed at the highest applicable rate.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The City provides water and sewer as part of its municipally owned utility system, but the reviewed 2026 rate content does not expose the full sewer fixed and volumetric schedule or a winter-average sewer formula. Customers can use the City’s bill dashboard to review historical water usage.
- Meter reading
- The City’s MyUtilityBill dashboard supports historic usage tracking; the reviewed current pages do not state whether Columbia residential meters use AMI/AMR or provide a universal read/transmission interval.
