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
- Bi-monthly; meter readings are taken approximately every two months and customers receive six bills per year. Account-number prefixes determine the billing months.
- Rate structure
- Uniform minimum with volumetric usage above 6,000 gallons per bi-monthly period. In 2026, water is $34.20 minimum for 0-6,000 gallons, then $5.70 per 1,000 gallons, plus a $5.00 bi-monthly water repair/replacement/maintenance charge.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 5,000-7,000-gallon bi-monthly usage assumption, water-only charges are approximately $39.20-$44.90 per two-month bill including the $5.00 maintenance charge, or about $19.60-$22.45 monthly before sewer. Combined water and sewer would be higher because sewer has its own minimum, usage, and maintenance charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer is metered from water usage or the minimum, whichever is greater. In 2026, sewer is $34.32 minimum for 0-6,000 gallons and $5.72 per 1,000 gallons above that, plus a $2.50 bi-monthly sewer repair/replacement/maintenance charge. For single-family residential customers, during four summer months sewer usage is capped at 175% of the prior eight non-summer months' average, recalculated annually; new accounts with fewer than three non-summer readings use the area's average.
- Meter reading
- Meters are read manually or through installed meter detectors on a bi-monthly schedule; the FAQ states readings are not estimated. The reviewed materials do not identify a universal AMI/AMR network or transmission cadence.
- New-account deposit
- Renters must post a county-determined service deposit, provide a lease or rental agreement and identification, and pay by cash, check, or money order. The deposit is held without interest, is not transferable, and is refunded at termination after charges are deducted when the refund exceeds $3.00; the exact amount varies by county rules and service district.
- Activation or transfer fee
- A $10 inspection turn-on fee applies to certain non-owner applicants requesting temporary water service for an inspection; 24-hour advance notice is expected, and another $10 is due if the applicant misses the field representative. The reviewed customer pages do not state a universal residential transfer fee.
