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 billing cycles; Pearland publishes a 2026 calendar by meter-reading cycle, bill date, and due date.
- Rate structure
- Meter-size base charges plus increasing residential usage tiers. FY26 inside-city 5/8-inch base charges are $24.12 water and $34.76 sewer; usage tiers are 0-2,000 gallons included in base, 2,001-6,000 at $6.19 per 1,000 gallons water and $7.64 sewer, 6,001-15,000 at $7.78 water, 15,001-25,000 at $9.35 water, and 25,001+ at $12.44 water. Outside-jurisdiction rates are 1.5 times standard rates and MUD meters may carry a separate meter surcharge.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $100.37 per monthly 5/8-inch inside-city bill at 5,000 gallons when the full 5,000 gallons is charged under the published tier table ($42.69 water plus $57.68 sewer), before garbage, MUD, outside-jurisdiction, or Winter Quarter Average effects. The actual residential sewer charge may use the account’s Winter Quarter Average rather than current water consumption.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Pearland states that residential sewer is calculated using a Winter Quarter Average (WQA). The published FY26 table shows a $34.76 5/8-inch sewer base and $7.64 per 1,000 gallons for residential sewer usage above 2,000 gallons; the current-water calculation for a particular account therefore depends on the established WQA and the meter-reading period.
- Meter reading
- Pearland operates an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network. The WaterSmart portal can display usage at daily and hourly intervals, generally about 24 hours after use, and can issue threshold, leak, email, text, or phone alerts. Endpoint failures are reported to the City’s utility-billing team for troubleshooting.
