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 customer billing; Harnett's AMI planning material describes monthly reads distributed across seven billing cycles, while the current customer pages present recurring monthly water/sewer account service.
- Rate structure
- The latest official schedule currently posted is effective July 1, 2025: residential water has a $22.00 flat charge for the first 2,000 gallons and $5.75 per additional 1,000 gallons, with an additional $0.35 per 1,000-gallon energy charge where applicable. Commercial and bulk schedules differ. No separately finalized July 2026 residential tariff was exposed in the reviewed public rate page, so the posted schedule is labeled by its effective date.
- Residential cost reference
- Using the latest posted residential schedule, 5,000 gallons is approximately $39.25 for water before any applicable $0.35-per-1,000-gallon energy charge. Harnett also posts residential sewer as a $16.00 flat charge plus $6.50 per 1,000 gallons, or household flat classifications of $42.00 for one person and $48.00 for two or more people; on the metered formula, a 5,000-gallon example is approximately $48.50 sewer and about $87.75 combined before energy or district-specific differences.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The posted schedule uses a $16.00 residential sewer flat charge plus $6.50 for each 1,000 gallons, with separate one-person and two-or-more-person household flat classifications of $42.00 and $48.00. Commercial and institutional accounts have distinct minimums and volumetric charges. The reviewed public material does not describe a winter-average sewer formula; customers should confirm the applicable district and household classification with HRW.
- Meter reading
- HRW advertises an automated water-meter upgrade and a WaterSmart usage portal with leak and unusual-use alerts. The official AMI planning material describes monthly reads across seven billing cycles and an intended two-way AMI system; the current public pages do not state that every meter has completed conversion, so the record preserves both the active AMI program and the published monthly-cycle context.
- New-account deposit
- The July 2025 HRW application lists refundable deposits by credit status: approved-credit owner water or sewer accounts $0; denied-credit owner water or sewer accounts $50; approved-credit renter water or sewer accounts $50; denied-credit renter water or sewer accounts $100. The application requires valid photo identification and says deposits/credits are refunded in the applicant's name; new accounts also require the $15 setup fee.
- Activation or transfer fee
- Setup fee is $15 for all accounts and transfer fee is $15. Same-day service adds $50. The application and rate schedule separately list meter/tap and system-development charges for new construction, which are not ordinary resident account-transfer fees.
