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 manual of fees and service charges describes monthly customer charges and usage rates, while the reviewed portal does not state the meter-reading or bill-generation date.
- Rate structure
- Fixed customer charge plus volumetric water rate, with customers outside City limits charged 150% of the base monthly customer charge. The published manual lists a residential 5/8–3/4-inch customer charge of $16.10 and graduated per-thousand-gallon usage charges; the current City site should be checked for later amendments.
- Meter reading
- The reviewed Tyler portal provides account and e-billing access but does not identify AMI/AMR hardware, vendor, transmission interval, or field route schedule.
- New-account deposit
- The published fee manual lists no deposit for resident homeowners on water/sewer-only service, a $50 water/sewer-only residential deposit for non-owner accounts, and a $250 electric deposit. Commercial and industrial accounts require an amount equal to one month's average bill using the prior twelve months' consumption.
- Activation or transfer fee
- New-customer connection fee is $25 and transfer-of-service fee is $25. Regular service calls are $25 and after-hours calls $40. The reviewed manual does not expose the full current tap-fee schedule.
