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. The Town references quarter-end due dates for water payments and the water/sewer FAQ treats the municipal account as a quarterly bill.
- Rate structure
- Minimum-plus-usage residential tariff. The published schedule lists a $63.00 minimum per livable unit that includes 2,400 cubic feet or 18,000 gallons, then $4.46 per 100 cubic feet for single-family residential usage above the minimum; multifamily/commercial overage is $5.16 per 100 cubic feet.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $21.00 per month for water at or below 18,000 gallons per livable unit, excluding the separate sewer charge; a typical 5,000-7,000-gallon month therefore remains within the $63 quarterly water minimum.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Every property with access to the Town sewer system is charged a flat $356.00 per livable unit per year, whether connected or not. The reviewed Town page describes this as a flat sewer fee rather than a water-consumption percentage or winter average.
- Meter reading
- The Town uses customer water-meter readings for overage billing and provides routine meter exchanges and sales reads. The reviewed public pages do not identify AMR/AMI technology.
