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 due 25 days after the billing/statement date under the published utility rules.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block tiers with meter and usage components. Odessa’s published example applies separate per-1,000-gallon prices to successive usage blocks, plus a water surcharge and a federally mandated stormwater fee; the exact charge depends on meter size and city/out-of-city status.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- For new residential accounts covering one to three units, sewer is assigned using a 7,000-gallon average. The City calculates the residential average from December, January, and February consumption and assigns the resulting rate each April 1; commercial and multifamily accounts use actual monthly water usage. Standard residential sewer is published at $53.27/month and the senior/disability amount at $41.85.
- New-account deposit
- Published residential deposits are $30 for one home inside city limits and $35 outside city limits. A renter deposit is $125, reducible to $60 with good utility credit. Larger or commercial accounts begin at $200 and are based on expected usage.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $15 new-service fee and $15 transfer-to-a-new-address fee.
