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. January, April, July, and October 2026 bills cover the preceding quarter’s water usage.
- Rate structure
- A 2026 increasing block schedule: up to 8,000 gallons is a $19.50 minimum; 9,000-30,000 gallons is $2.55 per 1,000 gallons, escalating through six usage bands to $3.95 above 175,000 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- A typical 5,000-7,000-gallon month remains within the $19.50 quarterly minimum structure, but the bill is issued quarterly and includes the period’s consumption and applicable charges. Exact quarterly residential total requires the account’s quarterly bill and any non-water charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The Plainview District is a water provider; the reviewed District pages do not expose a retail sewer formula or winter-average calculation for this system.
- Meter reading
- The 2026 schedule lists Neptune meter and associated-equipment pricing, but the reviewed pages do not identify whether all residential meters are AMR/AMI or the exact quarterly reading schedule.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $50 new property owner administration fee in the 2026 rate schedule; a $75 final-reading fee also applies when a final reading is requested for a sale.
