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.
- Rate structure
- Metered municipal water and wastewater rates. BPUB announced a 5% water-rate increase and a 5% wastewater-rate increase effective January 1, 2026; the $6.25 resaca fee remained fixed after a scheduled increase was halted. The complete charge depends on meter size, consumption, and service configuration.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- BPUB bills wastewater as a separate metered utility charge and applies the adopted 2026 wastewater rates, increased 5% from the prior schedule. The reviewed pages did not expose a universal winter-average formula or a fixed percentage of water consumption.
