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. Clarksville Gas & Water bills water and sewer usage through the utility account; the department’s payment and policy pages refer to each monthly billing cycle.
- Rate structure
- Uniform volumetric water pricing by service territory plus a monthly meter/customer charge, rather than increasing residential blocks. The published schedule effective July 1, 2024 and carried in the current code materials lists $4.45 per 1,000 gallons inside the city and $7.80 outside the city, with a 5/8- or 3/4-inch monthly customer charge of $9.00 inside and $19.50 outside. Sewer is separately charged per 1,000 gallons and has a 2,000-gallon minimum; current public code materials should be checked for later council amendments.
- Residential cost reference
- For an inside-city 5/8- or 3/4-inch home using 5,000-7,000 gallons, the published water and sewer schedules imply approximately $72-$97 per month before other city-bill items, taxes, or special charges: water is $9.00 plus $4.45 per 1,000 gallons and sewer is $8.14 per 1,000 gallons with a 2,000-gallon minimum. Outside-city customers pay the higher water and sewer rates.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer charges are based on potable-water consumption unless an approved customer wastewater meter determines discharge. The current published schedule lists $8.14 per 1,000 gallons inside the city and $14.24 outside the city for residential, commercial, and small industrial customers, with a minimum monthly sewer bill based on 2,000 gallons. A customer-side leak that does not enter the sewer may qualify for a sewer-only adjustment after application and proof of repair.
- Meter reading
- Clarksville Gas & Water began a 2026 Advanced Metering Infrastructure rollout for approximately 5,000 residential water meters in North Clarksville, with curbside equipment installed by an authorized contractor and no customer attendance required. The rollout is phased, so the entire service area may not yet have AMI; the public materials do not state an hourly transmission interval or universal read date. Billing remains monthly and may use meter readings or an estimate when necessary.
- New-account deposit
- Residential water and sewer security deposit is $150 for the applicable standard meter class; commercial water deposits may be based on twice the highest bill, and meter-size schedules can apply. A $6 credit inquiry fee may be charged, and qualifying new residential customers can use a credit check to determine the deposit. The department may require fees and deposits before activation and can require next-business-day payment after an after-hours start.
- Activation or transfer fee
- New water and/or sewer service activation is $100 during business hours or $200 after hours. A credit inquiry is $6. Transfer and account-specific charges should be confirmed with Gas & Water because the public schedule separates new service, reactivation, deposits, and meter work rather than publishing one universal resident transfer fee.
