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; sample bills show monthly meter-read dates and the rate schedule uses monthly service and usage charges.
- Rate structure
- Meter-size monthly service charge plus increasing-block usage. FY2025–2026 schedule lists a 3/4-inch $32.50 monthly service charge, $7.50 per 1,000 gallons, and $11.00 per 1,000 gallons above 10,000 gallons; irrigation has separate charges.
- Meter reading
- Sample bills show monthly meter-read dates; the reviewed County material did not identify AMR/AMI technology.
- Activation or transfer fee
- A 3/4-inch water system-development/tap/inspection package is listed at $5,382 in the FY2025–2026 schedule; this is a connection-development charge rather than a verified routine account-transfer fee.
