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 current CFPUA rate page describes the Water Base and usage charges on the monthly CFPUA bill, and the City of Wilmington confirms that stormwater is billed and collected monthly by CFPUA.
- Rate structure
- Metered monthly fixed charge by meter size plus consumption charge. FY2027 rates are effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; CFPUA also applies special rates for separate irrigation meters and publishes water, sewer, development, and stormwater fees.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- CFPUA bills water and sewer on the same utility account; the reviewed pages identify fixed and usage components but did not expose a universal winter-average sewer formula. City of Wilmington stormwater is a separate $9.27 monthly single-family basic rate collected by CFPUA.
