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 Town describes fixed monthly base charges and monthly utility statements.
- Rate structure
- Base charge plus variable gallon-based usage charge. The FY2027 budget effective July 1, 2026 lists a 4,000-gallon average residential water charge of $56.64 and sewer charge of $102.56, reflecting the adopted 2026 rate adjustment.
- Residential cost reference
- At the Town’s published 4,000-gallon FY2027 example, water is $56.64 and sewer is $102.56, or $159.20 combined before any other utility services; a 5,000-7,000 gallon total was not published.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer usage is billed as a separate gallon-based commodity charge plus a fixed monthly base charge. For pool fills, the Town schedules before-and-after meter readings and applies a reduced water rate with no sewer charge for the documented pool-fill gallons.
- Meter reading
- The Town’s free utility tracker provides real-time water-consumption monitoring and leak alerts; the reviewed pages did not identify the underlying AMI/AMR hardware or routine meter-read schedule.
- New-account deposit
- Renters require a deposit before connection. Owners require a deposit unless they provide a letter of credit; customers declining to provide Social Security proof may be charged a high-risk deposit. The reviewed residential application did not state a fixed dollar amount.
