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 City’s utility rate-calculation sheet is labeled Monthly Billing Rates, and metered bills are rendered no more than 30 days after each meter read.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block formula based on consumption. For inside-city accounts, the published calculation uses $11.32 for 0-1 units, $20.03 for 2-3, then (5.17034 × consumption)+$2.81 for 4-33, (3.75506 × consumption)+$49.96 for 34-333, and (2.81999 × consumption)+$362.28 for 334 or more. Rates vary for county/outside-city accounts.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- For inside-city accounts, the published calculator gives city sewer as (8.6625 × consumption)+$39.74, with a separate $14.75 sanitation charge. County/outside-city sewer uses (12.19 × consumption)+$13.81. The City’s public materials do not describe a winter-average method.
- Meter reading
- Meters are read for metered billing, and bills are rendered no more than 30 days after each read. The public rules do not identify AMI/AMR hardware, a universal read interval, or remote transmission technology.
- New-account deposit
- Applicants must make deposits or assessments required by the City’s Water Department rules, but the current public rules do not state one universal residential deposit amount or credit-check waiver. Existing unpaid charges at another property can prevent new service.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The Water Department requires an application with government photo identification and proof of ownership or a signed lease. The public seasonal turn-on form states a non-refundable turn fee, but no universal activation or transfer dollar amount is published.
