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 water billing is evidenced by OBMUA's minimum/base quarterly charge and its per-quarter senior/disabled rate. The reviewed pages do not specify the exact route months or universal wastewater billing calendar.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block tiers with a quarterly base allowance. Effective June 1, 2026, the minimum quarterly water charge is $91.59 for the first 6,000 gallons; additional consumption is charged per 1,000 gallons at $4.18 for 6,001-20,000, $4.69 for 20,001-30,000, $5.11 for 30,001-40,000, $5.65 for 40,001-50,000, $6.12 for 50,001-60,000, $6.62 for 60,001-70,000, $7.21 for 70,001-80,000, $7.60 for 80,001-90,000, $8.04 for 90,001-100,000, $8.54 for 100,001-110,000, $8.99 for 110,001-120,000, $9.49 for 120,001-130,000 and $9.72 above 130,000. Senior citizens and permanently disabled customers receive a 20% reduction on the base rate, listed as $73.27 per quarter.
- Residential cost reference
- Water-only estimate: about $32.62 per month averaged from the June 2026 quarterly minimum plus 1,500 gallons above the allowance at $4.18 per 1,000 ($97.86 per quarter for 7,500 gallons). OBMUA sewage is separately scheduled; the reviewed rate page does not expose enough current sewer detail to state a combined water/sewer total.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- OBMUA operates both water and wastewater services and maintains a separate sewage-rate schedule. The reviewed pages establish a separate sewer charge but do not expose the full residential 2026 calculation, winter average, water-use tie-in or flat percentage; customers should consult the Authority's current sewage-rate schedule or billing office.
- Meter reading
- The reviewed OBMUA pages establish metered water consumption and quarterly billing but do not identify AMI/AMR technology, remote-transmission intervals or a fixed field-reading schedule. Customers should request meter-reading information from the Water Division at (732) 679-8440.
- New-account deposit
- The reviewed OBMUA public rate pages do not expose a standard residential startup deposit, credit-check waiver or on-time-payment refund schedule. Construction hydrant meters have a separately published $2,000 deposit, which is not a residential account deposit.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The published schedule lists a $25 final charge for change of ownership and final meter reading. New residential service also lists a $150 application fee, $3,500 labor/material charge for a standard 1-inch tap, $500 standard meter fee, $4,056 connection fee per EDCU and $20 construction-water fee; these are connection/development charges rather than a universal simple-name-transfer fee.
