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. Bills are mailed on the last day of each month and payments are due on the 10th. Flatonia bills bundle electricity, water, wastewater, and trash/recycling charges.
- Rate structure
- Usage-based charges with published consumption points rather than a full tier table. Inside-city residential water is listed at $22.00 for 3,000 gallons, $39.50 for 10,000 gallons, and $92.00 for 25,000 gallons; commercial values are $24.00, $41.50, and $94.00. The complete current schedule is subject to change without notice.
- Residential cost reference
- The published inside-city residential water values imply approximately $31.50 at 5,000 gallons by interpolation between the 3,000- and 10,000-gallon points, while wastewater is approximately $25–$32 at similar usage. The combined water/wastewater subtotal is therefore roughly $57–$64 before bundled electric, garbage, recycling, and other charges; this is an estimate because the page publishes selected consumption points rather than every block.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Flatonia publishes residential wastewater at $21.00 for 3,000 gallons, $32.30 for 10,000 gallons, and $56.20 for 25,000 gallons inside the city. The reviewed current packet does not describe a winter-average formula; the code references averages of prior January, February, and March billing periods for some utility calculations.
- Meter reading
- Customers outside city limits must provide their own meter readings by the 14th; if no reading is supplied, the City estimates usage for two months and charges a $10 per-meter reading fee in the third month. The reviewed materials do not identify AMI/AMR technology or vendor.
- New-account deposit
- Residential water deposit is $50 for an owner-occupied account and $75 for a renter. Electric deposits are separately listed as $200 owner-occupied and $300 renter. All fees and deposits must be paid before connection; the reviewed sources do not state credit-check waivers or refund timing.
- Activation or transfer fee
- Published tap fees include $1,000 for a 3/4-inch water tap, $1,200 for a 1-inch water tap, and $1,000 for a sewer tap; larger taps are priced by the Utility Department. The City requires a form for account-name changes but does not publish a separate transfer fee.
