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; bills are mailed on or about the 20th and are due by 6:00 p.m. on the 15th of the following month, with the next open business day applying when the 15th is a weekend or holiday.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block water tiers with a meter-size base charge. Effective February 10, 2026, the standard residential 5/8- and 3/4-inch base is $39.53; volumetric tiers are $3.76 per 1,000 gallons for 1-15,000 gallons, $5.60 for 15,001-30,000, $7.45 for 30,001-50,000, and $9.27 above 50,000 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- Jonah publishes a 2026 water-only billing example of $58.33 for 5,000 gallons. This is a direct current estimate for standard residential water service and excludes any separate wastewater charge, regulatory assessment treatment, or non-water service fees.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Jonah's 2026 standard residential rate order lists no sewer gallonage charge for the standard water-only service schedule, and the published billing examples are explicitly water only. Customers whose property has a separate wastewater provider should not assume Jonah's water bill includes sewer; confirm service responsibility with the district.
- Meter reading
- Jonah states that its employees read all water meters monthly, generally at approximately the same time each month, and bills are calculated from reading date to reading date. The public material does not identify AMI/AMR equipment or remote transmission capability.
- New-account deposit
- Residential new service requires a $100 utility deposit and a $50 administrative fee. The deposit is held until the customer requests discontinuation; the final bill is deducted and any remaining balance is sent to the forwarding address. Builders also face a $500 construction deposit, refundable after required customer-service and cross-connection inspections when documentation is complete.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The published new-customer information lists a $50 administrative fee. A transfer within the district does not require an additional deposit unless the rate-order rules require one; physical meter or non-standard service costs can be separate.
