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; meters are read mid-month, statements are mailed around the first of the following month, and bills are due upon receipt and past due after the 20th.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block water usage tiers plus district basic-service, stormwater, TCEQ, trash/recycling, and wastewater components. Published usage tiers are $4.96 per 1,000 gallons for 1-6,000, $6.18 for 6,001-12,000, $9.70 for 12,001-18,000, and $11.58 above 18,000; the district also uses a winter wastewater maximum.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer usage is the lower of actual current water use or the customer's winter wastewater maximum. The maximum is established by averaging three winter billing cycles, normally December-February; if none is established, 7,000 gallons is used until the average is set. The bill also includes a basic-service fee that covers items such as garbage, recycling, billing, and parks, plus TCEQ and stormwater components.
- Meter reading
- Meters are read manually by utility field staff mid-month; bills calculate usage by subtracting the previous reading from the current reading and round readings down to whole 1,000-gallon units. The district describes positive-displacement meters, manufacturer testing/calibration, and an age/gallon-based replacement policy rather than AMI telemetry.
- New-account deposit
- After termination, Wells Branch requires an additional $100 deposit, with total additional deposit obligations capped at $600, plus all delinquent/current charges and the $35 administrative fee. The accessible new-service materials do not state a standard startup deposit or credit-check waiver.
