How do I read my water bill?
Your water bill includes basic information regarding your account. Some of the items to know are:
Meter ID – For most residents this will be 001, but if you own a multifamily house with separate water meters each meter will be identified with a number 002, 003, etc.
Previous Date / Reading – This is the date and meter reading of the previous reading
Present Date / Reading – This is the most current date and meter reading
Bill code – Act – means an actual meter reading Est – means an estimated reading. We always try to use actual readings every billing.
Usage – This is the amount of usage based on the difference between the previous and present readings. The number shown represents water used X 1,000
Cap Imp Fee - This is a fee that is dedicated for use in future water projects to make the system more efficient and reliable. For example: water main replacements, valve replacements, and new service lines with modern materials.
