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
- Every other month, approximately a 60-day cycle. The billing date is determined by physical address and cannot be changed.
- Rate structure
- Monthly fixed residential service fee plus metered consumption per 100 cubic feet, with inside- and outside-city rates. The 2026 master schedule lists residential water use at $1.932 per 100 cubic feet inside city and $4.254 outside, and a $16.975 monthly service fee inside or $37.365 outside for qualifying 3/4- and 1-inch residential meters. A 100-cubic-foot unit is approximately 748 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- Approx. $67.77/month before stormwater, ambulance, and other account fees for an inside-city standard residential account using 5,000 gallons/month: water base $16.975 plus 6.684 CCF × $1.932 ≈ $29.89, plus residential sewer $37.895/month. The City bills every two months, so the comparable water/sewer statement is approximately $135.54 before other fees and taxes.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential sewer is a flat monthly rate: the 2026 master schedule lists $37.895 inside city limits and $56.84 outside. Commercial sewer adds a base fee per unit plus a consumption charge per 100 cubic feet, with a minimum no less than the residential rate; multifamily maximum billing is based on the residential rate multiplied by dwelling units.
- Meter reading
- Kennewick uses AMI infrastructure with online leak notifications and consumption data; the City states it reads meters and bills on an approximately 60-day cycle. The leak policy uses AMI consumption to calculate routine and excessive use.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $15 new-account setup fee, non-refundable, on the first statement. It applies even if the customer previously had Kennewick service at another address.
