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 City budget describes monthly utility billing for electric, water, sewer, and sanitation receivables.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block tiers with a minimum charge. The City code lists a 3/4-inch residential minimum of $31.61 for up to 2,000 gallons, then $2.65 per 1,000 gallons from 2,001–10,000, $3.01 from 10,001–20,000, and higher conservation tiers above that.
- Residential cost reference
- Using the published residential rate, 5,000 gallons is approximately $39.56 for water and 7,000 gallons approximately $44.86 before sewer, electric, garbage, and other charges. The code requires water charges to be paid with other utility services when bundled, so the complete household bill is higher.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The City sewer code ties residential eligibility and billing to water consumption records from the preceding calendar year for certain rates. The reviewed current source does not expose a complete residential sewer formula or current winter-average months.
- Meter reading
- The City bills water monthly and uses consumption-based tiers, but the reviewed current sources do not identify AMI/AMR equipment, vendor, transmission interval, or route-reading schedule.
- New-account deposit
- The City application lists a $50 water deposit and $150 electric deposit for owner-occupied residential service; rental/lease tenants are listed at $75 water and $225 electric. The application also lists $10 water/electric connection for owners and $20 water/electric connection for tenants. The reviewed sources do not publish credit-check waivers or refund timing.
- Activation or transfer fee
- Water connection fee is $10 for the owner-occupied application and $20 for the rental/lease application. The reviewed current sources do not publish a separate transfer fee.
