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. Bills are generated and distributed during the first week of each month and payment is due 25 days later.
- Rate structure
- Monthly base charge plus usage-based water, wastewater, and surface-water charges. Water base rate depends on the service-line size; usage rates vary with consumption and irrigation. The City’s current 2026 rate brochure controls the exact meter-size and usage amounts.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Renton bills wastewater as a monthly base plus wastewater charges and a possible King County sewer-treatment capacity charge for connections made on or after February 1, 1990. The current page does not describe a winter-average formula; wastewater and surface-water charges continue according to the rate schedule even when water is disconnected for nonpayment.
- Meter reading
- The reviewed 2026 Renton pages describe monthly billing and actual meter-cycle adjustments but do not identify AMR/AMI technology or publish a universal residential read calendar.
- New-account deposit
- No current standard residential startup deposit or credit-waiver amount was published on the reviewed Renton pages.
- Activation or transfer fee
- No current activation or transfer fee was published on the reviewed Renton payment pages.
