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. The consumption period runs from the 20th of one month through the 20th of the next month, bills are processed and mailed on the last business day, and payment is due on the 15th of the following month.
- Rate structure
- Uniform monthly usage structure under the City code, with current rates maintained in the City's rate schedule. The current public rates page does not render the numeric 2026 table, so exact block prices should be confirmed with Utility Billing.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The City utility bill combines metered water use, wastewater service, and garbage collection. The reviewed current public materials do not publish a separate residential sewer formula, winter-average calculation, or percentage tie-in.
- Meter reading
- The bill displays the prior and new meter readings and the billing period runs from the 20th through the 20th. The current City materials do not identify AMI/AMR equipment, vendor, transmission interval, or route-reading schedule.
- New-account deposit
- Residential deposit is $150 inside city limits, $200 for residential ETJ service, and commercial deposit is $300 inside or outside the city. Applicants provide a driver's license or ID and warranty deed or lease. The City does not publish a credit-check waiver or automatic good-standing refund schedule; on closure, the deposit is applied to the last bill and any balance is mailed to the forwarding address.
- Activation or transfer fee
- New connection fee is $35. Closing an account also requires a $35 disconnect fee. The reviewed public page does not publish a separate account-transfer fee.
