Water billing is the process by which water utility companies charge customers for the water they consume. Each household or business is assigned a water meter that measures the amount of water used over a specific period, usually monthly or quarterly. The utility company then calculates the bill based on the meter readings and the established rates for water usage. Customers receive a water bill that details their consumption, the rate charged, and any additional fees or taxes. Timely payment is essential to avoid late fees or service interruptions. Understanding water billing helps customers manage their water usage and expenses effectively.
