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. Bills cover January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December quarters.
- Rate structure
- Metered water and sewer usage charges billed in arrears; the reviewed public billing page does not reproduce the complete current 2026 rate table.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer is billed with water. Under the City code, when an unusually high water bill results from a leaking toilet or faucet, the sewer portion may be adjusted to the City’s excess-sewer rate based on the annual Cape May County MUA treatment cost divided by prior-year City consumption.
- Meter reading
- The City bills usage from water-meter readings and bills quarterly; the reviewed pages do not identify AMR/AMI technology or exact read dates.
