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
- Quarterly; customers are billed quarterly for metered water use and the same meter basis supports the wastewater charge.
- Rate structure
- Metered quarterly water and wastewater charges with meter-size fixed charges and tiered consumption charges. Effective January 1, 2026, residential water is $2.28 per 100 cubic feet for the first 15 ccf, $2.99 for the next 25 ccf and $3.85 over 40 ccf, plus fixed quarterly charges.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 5,000-7,000 gallon month equivalent (about 6.7-9.4 ccf), the 2026 published residential volume charges are approximately $15-$21 water plus $17-$24 wastewater, before quarterly fixed charges and other municipal charges; actual bills are quarterly and meter-size dependent.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The City uses the same basement water meter as the basis for wastewater billing. Customers may reduce wastewater charges by separately metering water that does not enter the sanitary sewer, such as lawn/garden sprinkling, using a customer-funded clear-water meter.
- Meter reading
- The same basement meter measures water and supports wastewater billing; Wisconsin requires the City to test approximately 2,500 meters annually. The reviewed pages do not identify the meter vendor or remote-transmission interval.
