Orchard Dale provides potable water; sewer service is generally separate and may be administered by Whittier or a sanitation district. Sewer may use actual water consumption, winter averaging, a residential cap, or a fixed equivalent-unit charge. Customers should compare the separate sewer statement with Orchard Dale's meter usage and request the current serving-agency formula.

Meter and infrastructure notes

Orchard Dale reads meters monthly and publishes a customer bill based on the read period. The reviewed materials do not specify AMI, AMR, hourly transmission, route dates, or a universal leak-alert system. Customers should use bill read dates and ask the District whether the premise has an advanced meter or usage-alert capability.
