The published water-rate framework is described as CPUC-regulated metered residential water pricing under Schedule PR-1-R, with a fixed service charge for being connected plus a quantity charge for each 100 cubic feet/CCF, approximately 748 gallons. Liberty describes tiered water rates and may add CPUC fees, WRAM/MCBA or purchased-water surcharges, CAP items, and water-shortage charges.

The water portion depends on meter size, bi-monthly CCF use, tier, CPUC user fee, approved balancing-account surcharges, and CAP status. A 5,000-7,000 gallon monthly household uses roughly 6.7-9.4 CCF, or about 13.4-18.7 CCF over a two-month bill; sewer, taxes, and third-party payment fees are excluded.. These descriptions are useful planning benchmarks; actual charges can change with meter size, usage, sewer averaging, local taxes, drought stages, or account-specific fees.
Wastewater and sewer calculation
Liberty's Compton Park Water system bills potable water; sewer or wastewater may be billed separately by Compton, Lynwood, Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, or another serving agency. That agency may use actual water intake, a winter average, a residential cap, or a fixed equivalent-unit charge. Customers should compare the separate sewer bill with Liberty CCF usage and request the serving agency's current calculation rather than assuming sewer is a percentage of the Liberty water charge.
Meter and infrastructure notes
Liberty bills from customer meter readings and presents the meter period on the statement, but the reviewed Compton materials do not publish a fixed local read schedule or AMI deployment percentage. Customers should keep meters accessible, review current and prior readings, use Liberty's usage tools and continual-use alerts where available, and ask Customer Care to confirm whether the premise has AMR/AMI and leak-alert capability.
