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 and sewer billing is reflected in the City's rate notice; a typical residential customer using about 12 CCF per quarter is used for the published comparison.
- Rate structure
- Quarterly fixed service charge plus metered consumption rates under City Council ordinances. The current rate notice states that the common 5/8-inch and 5/8 by 3/4-inch residential meter fixed charge is $83.20 per quarter and a typical 12-CCF customer pays about $109.84 per quarter under the adopted schedule.
- Residential cost reference
- Trenton's official 2026 rate notice estimates a typical residential customer using approximately 12 CCF per quarter at about $109.84 per quarter, or approximately $36.61 monthly equivalent. The 5,000-7,000 gallon monthly household range is approximately 8-10.7 CCF per month and may fall below or near the published typical-use example; exact water, sewer, and fixed-charge amounts depend on the adopted ordinance and meter size.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Trenton combines water and sewer utility charges under City ordinances and publishes the quarterly fixed and usage schedule. The reviewed official rate pages do not expose a winter-average formula; customers should use the current bill and rate ordinance for the sewer component.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The reviewed Trenton pages link to a Start/Stop Service route but do not expose one universal activation or transfer fee in accessible text. Customers should use the City form and confirm current fees with Water Works.
