City of Sunrise Public Service – Water, Wastewater and Utility Billing

Provider briefing

How this utility’s billing works

City of Sunrise Public Service – Water, Wastewater and Utility Billing operates as a municipal department serving Sunrise, including City service areas in Broward County and portions of Weston. Customers should use the provider’s current account-specific bill and official customer-service instructions as the final authority for deadlines, balances, and service requests.

The published water-rate framework is described as Conservation-based increasing block rates required by the South Florida Water Management District. The January 2026 inside-city residential sheet lists a $25.76 monthly water base facility charge and water tiers of $4.03 per 1,000 gallons for 0–4,000 gallons, $5.56 for 5,000–8,000, $6.34 for 9,000–12,000, $8.45 for 13,000–16,000, and $10.58 for 17,000 gallons and above. Water-only consumption is subject to a 10% municipal utility tax.. Bills are generated monthly. the city reads water and gas meters monthly and issues bills using the current reading minus the prior month’s reading. water, sewer, garbage, recycling, and stormwater can appear on the same monthly statement., and a typical residential cost reference is For an inside-city 5/8-inch residential account using approximately 5,000 gallons in January 2026, the published components estimate about $144.23 before processor fees: $25.76 water base, about $21.68 tiered water use, $28.66 wastewater base, $25.40 wastewater use, $22.63 garbage, $4.38 recycling, $11.03 stormwater, and about $4.74 water tax. Actual bills vary by service area, usage, meter size, and included services.. 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

Residential wastewater is a $28.66 monthly base facility charge plus $5.08 per 1,000 gallons of metered water used, capped at 12,000 gallons per month. Wastewater commodity charges therefore follow potable-water meter usage but stop increasing above the published residential cap. Base charges continue even when service is temporarily off.

Meter and infrastructure notes

The City reads water meters monthly and calculates consumption as the difference between consecutive readings. Sunrise states that meter readers may be Bermex personnel and should carry visible company/name identification rather than City uniforms. The public pages do not promise hourly AMI data; meter-read timing follows the customer’s monthly billing route.
