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
- Bi-monthly for the residential water rate schedule; the City ordinance describes a service fee and consumption charge for each bi-monthly billing period. Customers should use the billing period on the current statement.
- Rate structure
- Metered service fee plus a consumption charge per 100 cubic feet, with City Council modifications and a separate utility-tax disclosure. The Kennewick master fee schedule also identifies water, sewer, stormwater, and a 15.5% utility-tax framework, with 9% incorporated into water rates and 6.5% shown separately.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Kennewick sewer user charges are calculated separately from water consumption, using a user-charge rate per 100 cubic feet of metered water plus a service charge. The ordinance states that City Council fees are published in the master fee schedule and adjusted annually for bills mailed after January 1.
- Meter reading
- Residential water use is metered and the ordinance describes bi-monthly billing. The reviewed current City pages do not identify the meter vendor, AMI/AMR technology, transmission interval, or precise read calendar.
