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; Ocean City’s current rate page says the fixed water charge is due with each monthly bill and wastewater charges are spread across the regular monthly bills.
- Rate structure
- NJBPU-regulated fixed meter charge plus volumetric water and wastewater charges and multiple approved adjustment clauses. For a 5/8-inch meter, the current page lists $22.65 monthly water service, $0.88724 per 100 gallons water usage, $2.56 DSIC, $0.79 water RESIC, $0.06359 per 100 gallons LSLRC, and $0.05330 per 100 gallons PWAC. Ocean City wastewater adds a $1.53000 per 100 gallons summer-quarter-based service component, $0.37520 per 100 gallons volumetric charge, $3.78 WSIC, $0.79 wastewater RESIC, and $3.4703 per 100 gallons PSTAC; adjustment charges can change semiannually or annually.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $349.55 per month for a 5/8-inch account using 5,000 gallons per month and assuming the prior summer-quarter average is also 5,000 gallons. This illustrative sum uses the current published fixed charges and per-100-gallon rates, including the Ocean City PSTAC, and excludes taxes or unlisted account-specific items; actual wastewater service and PSTAC are based on the prior July-August-September usage and will differ for seasonal properties.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Ocean City wastewater service and PSTAC use Summer Quarter Consumption: add the customer’s July, August, and September usage, divide the total by 12, and bill that monthly equivalent on the following year’s regular monthly bills. The current page lists $1.53000 per 100 gallons for wastewater service and $3.4703 per 100 gallons for the purchased wastewater surcharge. A separate $0.37520 per 100 gallons volumetric wastewater charge is based on current water use. New Jersey American Water owns the collection system and transfers sewage to the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority for treatment.
- Meter reading
- MyWater provides account usage history and the Ocean City bill materials describe usage in 100-gallon billing units. The reviewed current public pages do not identify whether a specific Ocean City account uses AMI, AMR, or manual reads, nor do they publish a fixed reading-day schedule; the statement’s meter-read dates control.
