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 meter reading and billing for the majority of residential customers. Royersford wastewater became a Pennsylvania American Water monthly-billed service after acquisition, replacing the former quarterly borough billing.
- Rate structure
- PUC-regulated metered service by assigned rate zone. The majority-rate Zone 1 residential schedule effective August 7, 2024 uses an $18.80 monthly 5/8-inch service charge and $1.8772 per 100 gallons; Royersford-specific tariffs apply where the assigned zone differs. New proposed rates were not to take effect until August 13, 2026 unless approved and applicable.
- Residential cost reference
- For a typical Zone 1 5/8-inch account using 5,000-7,000 gallons, approximately $137-$175 per month combined: water is $18.80 plus $1.8772 per 100 gallons, and majority-rate wastewater is $15.00 plus $2.9539 per 100 gallons. Royersford wastewater-specific tariff rates can differ and should be read from the customer’s assigned tariff.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Metered wastewater is calculated from water usage or sewage flows at the company’s discretion, with a monthly service charge per equivalent dwelling unit. The Royersford wastewater tariff is a distinct Zone 1a schedule; the acquisition preserved existing borough wastewater rates while changing billing from quarterly to monthly.
- Meter reading
- Customers are billed on monthly meter readings for the majority of service territories; the Royersford public tariff says meters may be read monthly or bimonthly depending on tariff. The reviewed pages do not identify the local AMR/AMI platform.
