Rate and Deposit information ~

The current Water Rate Schedule is:

• 2000 gallons is considered the minimum usage.  You will pay $18.50 (not including primacy fee or sale tax) for usage up to 2000 gallons.  You are then charged $4.00 for each one thousand gallons of water used thereafter.
• Meters are read electronically and have a service charge of $4.00 each month added to the bill, which is included in the total charge due.  Our goal is to have the entire Water District read electronically in the next few years; this change will help us to better serve our customers.  Total minimum water bill Inside the City of Battlefield: Water $18.50 Primacy Fee $.44 Service Chg. $5.00 Sales Tax $.35 = $2429 Outside the City of Battlefield: Water $18.50 Primacy Fee $.44 Service Chg. $5.00 Sales Tax $.16 = $24.10

If a customer requests their meter be checked for a leak and/or high usage, we will send out an employee to investigate the problem.  If there is a situation where we have made an error in a reading, or the customer does indeed have a leak there is no charge for this service.  Once an employee has been sent to a residence by customer request and there is not a problem, a service fee of $75.00 is added to the next billing cycle.

New Service and Meter Deposits

All new customers must sign a customer application and are required to pay a deposit.  This deposit varies depending on whether the customer is a resident or a builder/contractor.

•  Resident deposit – $200.00
• Builder/Contractor deposit – $200.00

Deposits are applied to the final bill for service when you move from the District.  Any remaining balance of the water deposit is refunded by mail.
