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
- Approximately every two months, or a 60-day cycle. Balances are due 18 days from bill generation; customers may schedule recurring payments monthly or every other month.
- Rate structure
- Two-month ready-to-serve charge by meter size plus a metered unit-of-consumption charge. The 2026 master fee schedule lists a 3/4-inch ready-to-serve charge of $29.89 per two-month period and a $2.47 UOC; domestic water, wastewater, refuse, and irrigation may be combined on one account.
- Residential cost reference
- Using the 2026 3/4-inch ready-to-serve charge of $29.89 per two-month period, the water service component averages $14.95 per month before consumption. A complete 5,000-7,000-gallon residential total cannot be calculated reliably from the reviewed public rate page because the current domestic UOC conversion and sewer/refuse components are not exposed together.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Yakima bills accounts on the same approximately 60-day cycle and may combine domestic water, sewer, refuse, and irrigation depending on location. The reviewed public utility page links separate domestic sewer rates but does not expose a residential winter-average formula; the account's service mix determines the total.
- Meter reading
- For closing an account, a field representative reads the meter to calculate the final bill. The reviewed current Yakima pages do not identify the standard residential meter technology, remote-transmission interval, or universal read schedule.
- New-account deposit
- Owner accounts usually do not require a deposit; tenant accounts do. For a residence with water, wastewater, and refuse, the current stated deposit is $215.28. The deposit may be waived with qualifying City history or a previous-utility letter of credit showing 12 months of good payment history within the prior 24 months, and is generally returned after one year of good payment history or applied to the account unless the customer requests a check.
