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; TPU/City utility bills combine water with other services.
- Rate structure
- Metered water service with fixed and volumetric charges; 2026 water rates increased about 6.3%, while City wastewater uses a fixed charge plus winter-water flow charge.
- Residential cost reference
- A Tacoma single-family home using 5 Ccf in winter pays $71.74 monthly for wastewater alone in 2026; the complete water-plus-city-services total depends on the TPU water schedule, meter, and other utilities.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- City wastewater is $40.04 fixed plus $6.34 per Ccf of water used for a single-family residence in 2026. Winter use drives the flow calculation, so conserving and repairing leaks in December-March can reduce the following wastewater charge.
