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
- Most properties are billed quarterly, with one-third of customers billed each month. Meters are read approximately one month before the bill is issued.
- Rate structure
- Fixed quarterly meter service charge plus declining-block volume charges: residential first 800 cubic feet per quarter at $1.11 per 100 CF and over 800 at $1.59 per 100 CF.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 5/8-inch meter and 5,000-7,000 gallons per month, quarterly water-only charges are roughly $23.31 fixed plus about 6.7-9.4 Ccf at the published residential blocks, averaging approximately $11-$15/month before sewer and stormwater.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Sanitary sewer has a fixed quarterly charge of $19.10 for a 5/8- or 3/4-inch meter plus $3.19 per 100 CF effective January 1, 2026. Residential summer bills may use the lesser of actual use and the winter average when water use is 20 Ccf or more; separate irrigation meters are excluded from that summer adjustment.
- Meter reading
- Meters are read remotely from a utility vehicle approximately one month before billing; the City says typical meters are read once every three months.
