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. The Water/Sewer Administration states that all water meters are read quarterly and water/sewer bills are issued quarterly on actual readings; 2026 due dates are January 30, April 30, July 31, and October 30.
- Rate structure
- Quarterly minimum-plus-tiered conservation structure. The ordinary minimum is $79.32 for 12,000 gallons, then $6.61 per 1,000 gallons; higher usage tiers apply from 12,001-150,000, 150,001-300,000, 300,001-600,000, and above 600,000 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $26.44 per month for water at or below the 12,000-gallon quarterly minimum, before the sewer percentage and any other municipal charges, using the City’s published $79.32 quarterly minimum.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer charges are 79.65% of total water consumption under the City’s published water and sewer schedule. Because both components are billed quarterly from meter readings, a typical residential bill combines the water minimum or tiered usage with the corresponding sewer percentage.
- Meter reading
- The City states that all water meters are read quarterly and bills are based on actual readings. It also maintains records of meters and sells electronic reading devices required in homes, but the reviewed page does not identify a specific AMR/AMI transmission schedule.
