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; the City's rate table presents monthly minimum charges and the sewer formula uses monthly usage, while first and last active cycles are prorated on a 30-day month.
- Rate structure
- Inclining block water pricing measured in CCF, where 100 cubic feet equals 748 gallons, plus a meter-size base rate. The published residential schedule charges $4.19 per CCF for the first 200 cubic feet, $4.40 for the next 800, $4.60 for the next 1,000, $5.03 for the next 2,000, $5.31 for the next 2,000 and $5.63 above 6,000 CCF; the 5/8-inch example base is $20.64. Out-of-city retail water customers pay twice the listed rates.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $72-$75 per month for 5,000 gallons before sanitation, tax and stormwater: about $20.64 base plus roughly $29.50 water volume under the published CCF tiers, and about $8.67 sewer minimum plus approximately $13.50 sewer volume using the residential winter average. The final utility bill includes other City charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential sewer is billed monthly from April through the following March using the average monthly water usage billed in January, February and March. Nonresidential retail users are billed from the same month's water usage. The listed sewer charge is an $8.67 minimum plus $2.02 per 100 cubic feet; first and last active cycles are prorated based on a 30-day month.
- Meter reading
- Wichita Falls replaced its retail meters with a fixed-network AMI system using radio transceivers, base stations and encrypted two-way communication. The City states AMI provides daily usage access in one-hour increments, reduces manual meter reads and supports usage alerts; Water Distribution still visits properties for maintenance, repairs or high-reading verification.
- New-account deposit
- Residential single-family deposit is $102.00; multi-family service is $76.50 per unit on one meter; sprinkler meters are $76.50. Business deposits are at least $112.00 for low-use businesses and may be up to twice the average monthly bill or based on comparable use. Establishing service requires identification, and the reviewed pages do not state an automatic credit-check waiver or refund period.
