Billing and account research from public material

- Rate structure
- Tiered water and wastewater rates based on units, with one unit equal to 748 gallons, plus a meter-size monthly delivery charge. Recycled-water users pay a discounted $4.63 per unit.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Water and wastewater are separately structured components in the City’s 2026 rate schedule. The reviewed page confirms tiered usage and meter-size delivery charges but does not expose the full household sewer calculation in readable text.

- $45 setup fee assessed on the first bill. The City also charges a monthly delivery charge based on meter size, even when no water is used.
