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 presents a typical monthly residential utility bill and separately lists the monthly water, sanitary sewer, surface-water, transportation, and applicable community-service charges.
- Rate structure
- Fixed meter charge plus metered drinking-water use charges. Hillsboro's current rate information says 2026 rates began January 1 and that water is only one portion of the City utility bill; the City reports the typical 6,000-gallon residential drinking-water portion at $56.22 per month and a low-water 2,250-gallon portion at $37.90.
- Residential cost reference
- The City publishes an all-in 2026 typical residential utility estimate of approximately $147.59 per month: $56.22 drinking water, $62.31 sanitary sewer, $18.46 surface-water management, and $10.60 transportation. The typical profile is approximately 6,000 gallons monthly; a 7,000-gallon household may pay more for water use and possibly sewer while the fixed components remain similar.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Hillsboro bills sanitary sewer on behalf of Clean Water Services. The public 2026 typical-bill breakdown identifies sanitary sewer at $62.31 monthly and states that sewer charges are separate fixed and use charges; the reviewed page does not expose the complete residential formula, winter average, or a flat percentage of water intake. Surface-water management is a separate charge and should not be confused with wastewater.
- Meter reading
- Hillsboro maintains a Utility Billing and Meter Reading team. The City provides meter-based leak diagnostics and says a customer can observe the meter's total-gallons readout and instantaneous flow rate; it also supports customer-installed smart leak detectors that provide real-time, hourly usage tracking. The public pages do not state whether every municipal meter is AMI or the exact route-read frequency.
