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; New Jersey American Water states that customers in each service area are billed monthly based on regular monthly meter readings.
- Rate structure
- Uniform volumetric water charge plus meter-size fixed service charge and regulatory/pass-through surcharges. The Ocean City page lists $22.65 monthly for a 5/8-inch meter and $0.88724 per 100 gallons, with DSIC, RESIC, LSLRC, and PWAC charges that are updated periodically.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Ocean City wastewater has a $1.53000 per 100-gallon wastewater service charge based on July-August-September summer-quarter consumption divided by 12 and billed monthly, plus a $0.37520 per 100-gallon volumetric wastewater charge, 5/8-inch WSIC $3.78, 5/8-inch RESIC $0.79, and a $3.4703 per 100-gallon Purchased Wastewater Treatment Adjustment Clause (PSTAC). The company explains that the PSTAC reflects CMCMUA treatment cost and is spread over 12 months using the same summer-flow basis.
- Meter reading
- Monthly meter reading is documented for residential customers. The reviewed Ocean City pages do not identify whether the local meters use AMI or AMR transmission or state an hourly/daily interval.
