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 for 5/8-inch and 1-inch meters, with larger meter classes billed monthly under the published two-tier rate sheet. Riverhead’s service information distinguishes the billing period by meter size.
- Rate structure
- Two-tier conservation structure plus meter-size minimum service charge and annual contaminant surcharge. The current published schedule lists $12 per quarter for a 5/8-inch meter and $22 per quarter for a 1-inch meter, includes a 90,000-gallon tier threshold, charges $2.05 per 1,000 gallons in Tier 1 and $3.25 above the threshold, and lists an $80 annual surcharge for those meter sizes.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $4.00 per month for the 5/8-inch minimum service charge alone, before usage and the annual contaminant surcharge; at 5,000-7,000 gallons per month, the actual quarterly water total depends on the District’s billing-period conversion and the $2.05-per-1,000-gallon Tier 1 charge.
- Meter reading
- Riverhead’s official Water/Sewer service information uses meter-size classes and quarterly or monthly billing periods; the reviewed materials do not identify AMR/AMI technology or an exact reading/transmission schedule.
