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. Bedford states that it bills more than 14,000 utility accounts monthly and reads meters monthly.
- Rate structure
- Monthly increasing-block residential volumetric pricing effective January 1, 2026, plus a meter-size base charge. Inside-city water usage is $5.86 per 1,000 gallons for 0-15,000 gallons, $7.33 for 15,001-30,000, $9.16 for 30,001-50,000, and $11.45 above 50,000; the 5/8- or 3/4-inch base is $22.36, with a $20.12 senior base.
- Residential cost reference
- At 6,000 gallons per month inside the City, the 2026 water charge is approximately $57.52 including the $22.36 base. Adding the $17.57 sewer base and $5.00 per 1,000 gallons sewer volume charge gives approximately $105.09 monthly before drainage, solid waste, recycling, and other consolidated-bill items.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Monthly sewer is a $17.57 base for a 5/8- or 3/4-inch meter plus $5.00 per 1,000 gallons. Bedford also states that staff average winter consumption to set the sewer rate for the year; if there are no preceding winter months, the City uses a 6,000-gallon average.
- Meter reading
- The City reads meters monthly through EyeOnWater. The system provides consumption data at least every 24 hours and allows customers to view usage by year, month, day, hour, or minute; inaccessible meters may be manually read or estimated from prior usage.
- New-account deposit
- Residential new service requires a $100 deposit plus a $15 service charge. The application is submitted through the City’s third-party 2TurnItOn workflow; the reviewed pages do not state a credit-check waiver or return schedule.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $15 service charge accompanies the residential new-service deposit; no separate current transfer fee was exposed.
