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
- Recurring municipal water billing; the current public page does not publish a universal billing day or exact cycle frequency beyond the recurring water-bill process.
- Rate structure
- City rate schedules establish metered water and wastewater charges, with separate inside/outside-city and customer classifications. The current FY2026 fee schedule is the controlling document; exact residential tier values are not exposed in the indexed billing page.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Wastewater is billed under the City's water and sewer rate schedule and is based on metered utility service. The current indexed pages do not expose a complete sewer formula or winter-average method.
- Meter reading
- The current indexed billing page does not disclose AMR/AMI hardware, vendor, transmission interval, or meter-reading route calendar. Meter technology and schedule are not publicly documented pending a City specification.
- New-account deposit
- The City requires a residential water deposit of $150 in most cases. The deposit may be waived by a utility-company Letter of Credit showing at least one year of good standing during the current year; the letter must come directly from the utility company. The application also requires identity documentation and a signed agreement before connection.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The residential connection fee is $20. The City will not connect water until it receives the signed application, driver's license copy, and payment of the deposit and connection fee or an accepted Letter of Credit. A separate current transfer fee is not stated.
