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 residential utility application states that St. George utility services are billed monthly; the application says payment is due immediately upon billing and the bill shows the controlling due date. The city also offers a rolling 12-month Average Monthly Payment plan for eligible residential accounts with at least 12 months at the same address and a zero balance at enrollment.
- Rate structure
- Tiered culinary water pricing with a fixed base fee plus consumption charges, designed to encourage conservation while keeping indoor use competitive. The city also offers separate secondary irrigation water, described as non-potable and priced at 60% of culinary-water rates, and collects a Washington County Water Conservancy District surcharge. The official rate page explains that a typical 3/4-inch residential meter uses a multiplier of ten and that newer connections have seasonal or rolling demand thresholds for excess-use surcharges; the numeric 2026 tier table is rendered as an image on the page.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The city rate page states that residential wastewater is a flat fee rather than a direct winter-average percentage of water intake; it covers sewer collection and regional treatment. The combined monthly utility bill may also include the separate storm-drainage fee, charged per equivalent residential unit, and other city or county services. The current public page renders the numeric wastewater rate table as an image, so the exact 2026 residential dollar amount should be read from the bill or current rate graphic.
- Meter reading
- The city uses metered utility billing and states that a typical 3/4-inch residential water meter has a multiplier of ten for converting the meter reading into gallons. Utility staff positions describe reading and repairing residential, commercial, and irrigation meters and responding to service work orders; the application and budget materials support monthly billing. The reviewed public pages do not verify AMI hourly transmission or publish a universal read-date calendar, so the record reflects meter-based monthly billing rather than an unsupported smart-meter claim.
- New-account deposit
- A $125 residential security deposit is required to start service when the applicant is renting rather than owning the property; the city contacts the applicant if a deposit is required. The application requests a driver license and Social Security number, but it does not publish a credit-check waiver or a standard refund date in the accessible text. Commercial or business renter deposits may be higher under the city fee schedule.
- Activation or transfer fee
- For a service that is off, the residential application lists a $25 connect fee per meter on the first bill; same-day connection requested through customer service costs $50 per meter until 4:00 p.m. When services are already on and responsibility changes, the application lists a $10 read-and-change fee per meter. Applications generally require two to three business days for processing, while same-day requests go through 435-627-4700 during office hours.
