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; PUB describes its Direct Debit Payment as paying the current monthly bill and its water and sewer tariffs use monthly customer charges.
- Rate structure
- Monthly meter-size customer charge plus a uniform volumetric charge per 1,000 gallons. For a standard 5/8- or 3/4-inch meter, the published water minimum is $11.25 per month effective July 1, 2024, plus $5.82 per 1,000 gallons; sewer has a separate monthly customer charge and volumetric rate.
- Residential cost reference
- Using the PUB published standard-meter water minimum of $11.25 and $5.82 per 1,000 gallons, 5,000 gallons of water is approximately $40.35 before sewer. The official page’s sewer table is older/incomplete in the readable text, so a current combined 5,000-7,000-gallon total should be verified against the latest bill and tariff.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sewer billing uses a monthly customer charge plus a usage charge per 1,000 gallons of metered water consumption. PUB’s published tariff also references an unusual-usage/leak-adjustment rate and separate sewer rules; the reviewed page does not expose a current winter-average calculation.
- New-account deposit
- PUB’s published rules require a minimum $50 deposit or two-twelfths of the estimated annual bill, whichever is greater, where a deposit is required. A separate $1,000 hydrant-meter deposit applies to temporary construction water and is reconciled after the meter is returned.
