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 district issues a monthly utility bill and monthly auto-draft is scheduled on the due date printed on that bill.
- Rate structure
- Seasonal increasing blocks. Winter rates, October through April, are $14.00 minimum through 10,000 gallons, then $1.75 per 1,000 gallons through 20,000, $2.00 through 30,000, and $3.50 above 30,000. Summer rates, May through September, are $9.50 minimum through 8,000 gallons, then $2.75, $3.25, and $4.50 per 1,000-gallon blocks. WHCRWA and state assessment charges are added separately.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $40.75 in winter at 7,000 gallons before the WHCRWA pass-through and state assessments, using the $14 minimum water charge, $16 sewer service charge, and the $4.35-per-1,000-gallon WHCRWA residential charge on 7,000 gallons. Summer calculations differ because the water minimum and tiers change.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The published rate page lists a $16 residential sewer service rate but does not state a separate residential volumetric tier or winter-average formula. The district bills the WHCRWA pass-through at $4.35 per 1,000 gallons and state assessments in addition to district water/sewer charges; the precise sewer calculation is not publicly documented without the complete rate order.
- Meter reading
- HCMUD 208 offers a smart-meter account that allows residents to monitor daily usage and detect potential leaks. The reviewed pages do not identify the meter manufacturer, exact AMI transmission interval, or fixed monthly read date.
- New-account deposit
- Single-family applicants pay a $50 non-refundable application fee plus a $150 deposit for homeowners or $200 for leasees/renters. The application must be notarized and accompanied by proof of ownership or lease. After a minimum two-year good credit history, a resident may request a deposit refund in writing; a later delinquency letter triggers a new deposit requirement.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $50 application fee for single-family residential service. The application may require notarization, proof of ownership or lease, a service agreement, and the applicable $150 homeowner or $200 renter deposit. A separate transfer fee is not published.
