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 corporation states recurring payments are charged on the 10th of the month or the following business day when the 10th is a weekend or holiday.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block water rates with a minimum bill, state regulatory fee, and a city street tax for city residents. The published schedule lists a $75 minimum with no water, $6.50 per 1,000 gallons from 0-3,000, $7.00 from 3,001-8,000, $8.75 from 8,001-20,000, and $9.50 above 20,000 gallons; the schedule is labeled effective May 1, 2023 and no newer rate table was posted in the reviewed public pages.
- Residential cost reference
- Using the published schedule as a transparent reference, a 5,000-gallon member account is approximately $89.50 before the 0.5% state regulatory fee and any 2% city street tax for city residents, assuming the $75 minimum functions as the base and the 3,001-5,000 gallons are billed at $7.00 per 1,000. The corporation's posted schedule is older than 2026 and should be confirmed before quoting a current bill.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Martindale Water Supply Corporation is the water provider; the City of Martindale separately provides wastewater and solid-waste billing for city utility customers. The corporation's public rate page does not state a sewer calculation, winter average, or wastewater charge.
- Meter reading
- The corporation's public pages do not identify AMI/AMR technology, remote transmission cadence, or a routine meter-reading schedule. Meter-reading technology is not publicly documented pending direct confirmation from the office.
- New-account deposit
- The posted membership schedule requires $100 customer-service inspection, $100 membership, $100 administration, $100 engineering review, $1,350 meter installation, $6,200 capital recovery, and $5,200 water acquisition fees when a water main is on the property, totaling $13,150. If no main is on the property, the same listed fees apply plus a service extension; an abandoned prior service has a $6,950 total described as a payment-plan down payment plus water acquisition fee. These are membership/connection charges rather than a conventional refundable deposit, and no credit-check waiver is published.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The published membership schedule lists a $100 administration fee, $100 membership fee, $100 customer-service inspection, $100 engineering review, $1,350 meter installation, $6,200 capital recovery, and $5,200 water acquisition fee for a new membership where a main is present. The public page does not state a separate resident transfer fee.
