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 for customers transitioned from quarterly billing beginning January 2023. Bills are based on consumption, with some accounts or legacy arrangements potentially following a different statement cycle.
- Rate structure
- Metered consumption-based municipal water and sewer billing administered by JCMUA through Veolia. The Authority’s 2025 rate-study update proposed an 8 percent 2026 increase, while the reviewed public pages did not expose a complete current residential tier table.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- JCMUA operates both water and sewer systems and Veolia bills/collects those charges. The residential FAQ says the bill changes with consumption and may rise because of excess use or a leak; the reviewed pages did not publish a universal winter-average or fixed-percentage sewer formula.
- Meter reading
- JCMUA/Veolia states that meter-reading technology varies by location and meter age: some meters use radio-frequency readout from a passing vehicle or walking route, some are moving toward tower collection, and older meters may be viewed or touched manually. A single universal interval was not published.
