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. New bills are sent on the last business day of the month. Water bills are due by 3:00 p.m. on the 12th.
- Rate structure
- Metered increasing-block structure with meter-size minimum charges and volumetric charges above 2,000 gallons. The accessible code schedule shows a 5/8-inch residential inside-city minimum of $24.95 and incremental 2024 charges around $2.64–$3.38 per thousand gallons across the lower residential blocks; the City should confirm any post-2024 update.
- Residential cost reference
- Using the accessible 2024 inside-city schedule, a 5,000–7,000-gallon residential account is approximately $33–$40 for water before wastewater, based on the $24.95 minimum plus the published lower-block increments. Wastewater adds an approximately $27.50 minimum plus volumetric charges, so a combined indicative total is roughly $68–$85 before garbage, taxes, or current-year revisions.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Wastewater is billed from metered water consumption. The accessible code schedule lists a residential inside-city $27.50 minimum and incremental charges above 2,000 gallons, including $2.50 for the 2,000–3,000-gallon band and $2.78 for the 3,001–7,000-gallon bands in the last displayed schedule. No winter-average method is stated in the reviewed current City page.
- Meter reading
- The City publishes monthly billing and a water-usage monitoring app, but the reviewed sources do not identify AMI/AMR hardware, vendor, transmission interval, or route-reading schedule.
- New-account deposit
- The code lists a $75 water deposit for both property owners and nonowners, a $50 sewer deposit, and a $25 garbage deposit. The current public materials do not state a credit-check waiver or refund-after-good-standing schedule.
- Activation or transfer fee
- Water transfer fee is $30. A 5/8–3/4-inch new meter installation fee is $300, with larger meters charged at meter cost plus 5% and a $40 meter-box fee. Temporary water-stop reconnection is $30 during normal hours or $45 after hours.
