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 utility billing; water, sewer, trash, and stormwater are billed according to account type and location.
- Rate structure
- Rates vary by account type and location. The reviewed billing page identifies inside/outside-city distinctions, senior/disability rates, and flat or metered accounts but does not expose the complete current residential water table in accessible text.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- New residential accounts with 1-3 units are billed $53.27/month based on a 7,000-gallon average; senior/disability rate is $41.85 based on the same average. Existing residential sewer averages are calculated from December, January, and February usage; commercial/multifamily accounts use actual monthly water use and outside-city rates are 1.5 times inside-city rates.
- Meter reading
- Odessa bills metered usage and uses December-January-February consumption for residential sewer averaging. The reviewed pages do not identify AMI/AMR technology or the universal read interval.
- New-account deposit
- $30 for one inside-city home, $35 for one outside-city home, $125 for renters, reduced to $60 with good utility credit, and at least $200 for larger/commercial accounts based on past usage.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $15 new-service fee and $15 transfer-to-new-address fee.
