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; utility bills are produced every month and are considered late 20 days from the billing date.
- Rate structure
- Uniform base-plus-consumption pricing by meter size, not increasing blocks: for a single-family 3/4-inch meter inside city limits effective March 1, 2026, the water base is $31.48 and usage is $1.35 per 100 cubic feet. One hundred cubic feet equals 748 gallons. Outside-city rates are separately listed at $59.81 base and $2.57 per 100 cubic feet. City-supplied irrigation, ambulance, and storm-drain charges are separate line items.
- Residential cost reference
- For an inside-city single-family residence with a 3/4-inch meter and 6,000 gallons (about 8.02 billing units of 100 cubic feet), water is approximately $42.31 ($31.48 + 8.02 x $1.35) and residential sewer is $41.33, for approximately $83.64 combined water/sewer before the separate $28.17 ambulance, $6.85 storm-drain, irrigation, or other charges. Actual bills vary by meter size, service location, and usage.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Effective March 1, 2026, the rate sheet lists inside-city residential sewer at $41.33 per month and outside-city residential sewer at $62.00. The published single-family sheet does not expose a separate residential sewer consumption tier or winter-average formula; commercial accounts are explicitly charged an additional sewer fee based on water usage over 1,000 cubic feet per month. The first 1,000 cubic feet is included in the commercial/multifamily sewer base schedule.
- Meter reading
- The City’s utility-billing conversion documentation states that the billing system processes meter reads and calculates recurring base and consumption charges for approximately 24,000 accounts. The current public pages do not identify the meter manufacturer, AMI/AMR communications method, transmission interval, or exact reading schedule.
