Provider briefing
How this utility’s billing works
CITY OF BEAUMONT WATER UTILITY DEPT operates as a municipal department serving BEAUMONT. 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 Uniform base-plus-volume structure for a standard 5/8-inch residential meter, with a first-1,000-gallon charge and a uniform per-1,000-gallon charge thereafter. FY2026 water rates were held unchanged: $16.79 for the first 1,000 gallons and $5.68 for each additional 1,000 gallons; senior-qualified customers receive $11.11 for the first 1,000 gallons and the same $5.68 marginal rate.. Bills are generated monthly; the city states that water utility statements are mailed monthly., and a typical residential cost reference is Water-only estimate for 6,000 gallons on a standard 5/8-inch meter is approximately $45.19 before wastewater, taxes, solid waste, or other services: $16.79 plus five additional 1,000-gallon units at $5.68. The City’s FY2026 notice says wastewater increased about $2.74 per month for an average household, but it does not publish a complete current residential sewer schedule on the billing page, so a combined water/sewer estimate is not publicly stated.. 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
Beaumont bills residential sewer through the municipal water utility statement, but the current public Water Billing page and FY2026 rate notice do not expose the complete residential sewer base, volume rate, winter average, or clean-water deduction formula. The FY2026 notice confirms a small wastewater increase of about $2.74 per month for the average household; the exact customer-level calculation should be confirmed with Water Billing at 409-866-0023.
Meter and infrastructure notes
The City has installed an automated meter-reading system and states that most meters are electronic and transmit usage electronically for billing. The public page does not specify the radio/network protocol, transmission interval, or exact read calendar; submerged electronic meters may cause a temporary estimate based on the prior three months, later corrected when actual usage is recorded.

CITY OF BEAUMONT WATER UTILITY DEPT is listed here as a municipal department. The profile separates account actions—such as paying a bill or requesting service—from explanatory material about rates, meters, wastewater, leaks, and delinquency.

If your issue is urgent, start with the provider’s emergency number or official payment route rather than waiting for an email response. Keep a written record of calls, confirmation numbers, notice dates, and documents you submit.
