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. Canton City Utilities' March 29, 2026 rate sheet expressly states that all Canton City utility customers are billed monthly.
- Rate structure
- Meter-size monthly minimum plus increasing-block volumetric water rates, with a 150% surcharge for outside-City water service. Effective March 29, 2026, a 5/8-inch inside-City minimum is $8.15 for 225 cubic feet; usage beyond the minimum is $3.6219 per 100 cubic feet through 4,500 cubic feet, $2.8978 through 30,000 and $1.7025 above. Sewer has a $11.86 minimum for 200 cubic feet and $4.38 per additional 100 cubic feet; homestead sewer discount is 10%.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $97 per month for an inside-City 5/8-inch residential account using 6,000 gallons (about 802 cubic feet), including estimated water usage/base, sewer, $27.94 monthly sanitation, the $1.70 meter-replacement surcharge and a typical account. Homestead discounts and outside-City surcharges materially change the total.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Canton sewer is billed monthly from a minimum volume of 200 cubic feet plus $4.38 per additional 100 cubic feet under the March 29, 2026 schedule; the PDF identifies a 10% homestead discount. It is not a winter-average or flat percentage tie-in. Sanitation is a separate monthly line on the combined utility bill.
- Meter reading
- Canton's rules refer to a meter transmitting unit and the City bills monthly, but the reviewed current pages do not identify the specific AMR/AMI vendor or transmission interval. Customers should use the monthly statement and request a meter-read/recheck review through Utility Billing.
