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 FY2025-26 bill information sheet states that base fees are based on a calendar month and prorated daily on connection or disconnection.
- Rate structure
- Fixed base fee plus usage by 100 cubic feet. The FY2025-26 bill sheet lists a 3/4-inch residential water base of $32.24 and $2.87 per 100 cubic feet inside City limits, with $3.79 per 100 cubic feet outside City limits; 100 cubic feet equals approximately 748 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $100.41 before late fees or card charges for the published 3/4-inch residential base bundle of water $32.24, sewer $38.56, sanitation $27.35, and sanitation sales tax $2.26; actual water usage is added at $2.87 per 100 cubic feet inside City limits.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The FY2025-26 bill sheet lists a 3/4-inch residential sewer base of $38.56 and states that consumption is billed with the monthly utility services. The accessible current sheet does not expose a complete variable sewer tier formula or winter-average rule.
- Meter reading
- The current public billing page does not disclose a residential meter vendor, AMR/AMI status, transmission interval, or route calendar. Exact meter technology and schedule are not publicly documented pending a City specification.
- New-account deposit
- A deposit is required when service is requested according to the City rate ordinance and must be paid through Utility Billing to complete the application. The current residential service form does not expose one universal deposit amount in accessible text; confirm the account-specific deposit with 325-646-9700.
- Activation or transfer fee
- New service or transfer requires the City's service agreement and payment of any required deposit and connection charge. The current accessible billing page does not expose the numerical water activation or transfer fee.
