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
- Quarterly for the typical residential bill; MAWC’s FAQ states the original due date is 15 days after the print date, followed by the delinquency notice sequence. Some commercial, EDU, and consecutive-system schedules are monthly.
- Rate structure
- Plant- and customer-class-specific fixed allowances plus per-thousand-gallon wastewater charges, with residential, commercial, meter-size, and consecutive-system schedules. The published MAWC rate page shows Yough-related regional schedules and rates effective April 1, 2025; a single 2026 Yough residential table was not exposed in the reviewed page.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- MAWC wastewater schedules use a fixed base rate per EDU or meter size, an included gallon allowance, and a per-thousand-gallon charge above the allowance. The allowance and frequency vary by plant and customer class; MAWC’s published schedules include monthly and quarterly examples rather than a universal winter-average formula.
- Meter reading
- MAWC rate schedules distinguish meter sizes and meter-based allowances, but the reviewed official pages do not identify a universal AMI/AMR platform or reading-transmission interval for the Yough Plant service area.
- New-account deposit
- MAWC’s FAQ states that after a nonpayment shutoff, a deposit is required if one was not paid when service began: $100 for a residence and $150 for a business. The reviewed pages do not state the ordinary startup credit-check waiver or the on-time-payment refund schedule.
- Activation or transfer fee
- MAWC’s start/stop service process is initiated through the portal or (724) 755-5800. The reviewed official pages do not publish a universal account-transfer fee; the applicable post-shutoff turn-on charges are $24 next day, $64 same day before 3:30 p.m., or $175 same day after 3:30 p.m.
