Utility Billing
Utility bills are rendered every month and represent approximately 30 days of service. There are two basic classes of service: commercial and residential. The following residential services are billed on the city of Carrollton utility bill:

Water

• Water meters are read each month

• The water billed represents the water usage since the last meter reading - the prior month

• Water is billed in thousand gallon increments

Wastewater

• Wastewater billed is the average of the water consumption during the months of January, February and March

• The average is billed each month from the April bill through the March bill the following year.

• For example: The water usage at your residence is:

  • January = 10 T gal

  • February = 10 T gal

  • March = 13 T gal Total 33 T gal / 3 months = 11 T gal

The wastewater billed for the next year from April through March would be 11 T gal per month.

Fees
The fee for late payment of bills was approved by the City Council and was established to encourage prompt payment and to help defray the cost of field trips to the premise.

1. Bills paid each month, by the due date, will not incur a late fee.

2. If a customer is in a temporary financial bind and needs more time to pay, a pay agreement may be arranged. As long as the terms of the pay agreement are met, the customer is not charged a late fee.

3. Also, if a customer pays the past due amount of a two-month bill by the due date on the bill, a late fee will not be charged.

4. A customer with a two-month bill that is not paid by 5:00 p.m. on the due date, the second bill will be charged a late fee.

5. If a two-month bill is not paid by the late fee notification date, the account will be subject to interruption and full payment of all outstanding charges and an interruption day fee of $20 will be required to restore service.
