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; the City combines water, wastewater, street maintenance, and solid-waste charges on the utility account.
- Rate structure
- Increasing tiered water rates with base/minimum charge. Effective January 1, 2026, a 3/4-inch meter inside city limits has a $16.50 minimum; consumption is $3.47 per 1,000 gallons for 0-3,000, $4.36 for 3,001-8,000, $6.95 for 8,001-15,000, $9.03 for 15,001-25,000, and $12.16 above 25,000 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 3/4-inch inside-city account using 5,000-7,000 gallons, the 2026 water component is approximately $25.22-$33.94 before sewer and drainage. Waco’s sewer base is $26.98 and volumetric rate $6.97 per 1,000 gallons, capped by the winter average, making the typical combined water/sewer amount approximately $87-$110 before drainage and other charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Waco calculates sewer using a winter average from water consumption billed during December, January, and February. The sewer charge is capped at that average; new accounts or accounts with no winter usage default to 6,000 gallons, and if current use is lower, the lower amount is charged.
- Meter reading
- MyWaco provides personalized water-use reports and leak alerts; the reviewed pages do not establish the exact meter technology or read schedule.
- New-account deposit
- The City’s MyWaco Central material states that the water-service deposit can range from $0 to $300, depending on account circumstances. The reviewed page does not expose the credit-check waiver or refund timing.
