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; the City says its billing office prepares monthly water-usage bills for approximately 18,000 households.
- Rate structure
- Meter-size base charge for the first 3,000 gallons plus incremental water-usage tiers. The 2026 infrastructure presentation lists residential base rates such as $27.00 for a 3/4-inch meter and separate tiered water charges above the base allowance.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 3/4-inch residential meter, the published base is $27.00 through the first 3,000 gallons; the 2026 schedule adds usage charges above that threshold. A complete 5,000-7,000 gallon total depends on the applicable tier and wastewater charges and should be calculated from the current ordinance.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The 2026 City presentation lists a residential wastewater base rate of $26.50 and usage tiers of $2.00 per 1,000 gallons through 6,000, $3.00 for 6,001-12,000, $4.00 for 12,001-18,000, $4.50 for 18,001-24,000 and $4.75 above 24,000. The reviewed materials describe usage-based sewer billing rather than a winter-average formula.
- Meter reading
- The City says its billing process is based on physically reading water meters and preparing monthly bills. The reviewed official page does not identify a smart-meter vendor or interval transmission schedule.
- New-account deposit
- A deposit is required for new service and for disconnected customers. The City performs a credit check and sets the residential or commercial deposit between $91.50 and $225 based on credit rating; identification must be verified before service begins.
