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 residential billing. The bill is due 21 days after issuance; the Authority’s FAQ states that residential accounts are read and billed monthly.
- Rate structure
- Water-only regional utility with a regular monthly minimum: $33.14 for the first 400 cubic feet, then $8.28 per additional 100 cubic feet under the 2026 rate booklet. Separate high-consumption and wholesale schedules apply to unusually large or resale accounts.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $55.35 for 5,000 gallons using the regular 2026 water schedule: 5,000 gallons is about 668 cubic feet, so the $33.14 first-400-cubic-foot minimum plus approximately 268 additional cubic feet at $8.28 per 100 cubic feet yields about $55.35. WPJWA is a water authority; a separate sewer charge is not included in this estimate.
- Meter reading
- WPJWA uses automatic meter reading devices with radio sending units powered by an approximately 20-year battery. Residential meters are read monthly; the FAQ says the radio unit can signal tampering or damage and that routine meter/radio-register maintenance is the Authority’s responsibility.
- New-account deposit
- Deposits may be required from any applicant. They are mandatory after bankruptcy and for applicants with prior unpaid service or a history of paying after the due date; the amount is based on estimated three-month bills. Deposits under $400 are divided over the next six bills, deposits above $400 over the next 12, earn no interest, and are returned at termination if no arrearage remains.
