Provider briefing

How this utility’s billing works

City of League City Utility Billing / Water and Wastewater Services operates as a municipal department serving City of League City municipal water, wastewater, and solid-waste service area. 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 Increasing block tier rates with a monthly base charge. For the common 3/4-inch residential meter, the April 2026 water base is $9.69. Volume rates are $3.25 per 1,000 gallons for 1-3,000 gallons, $7.15 for 3,001-10,000, $9.50 for 10,001-25,000, and $11.53 above 25,000. The City is implementing a multi-year adopted increase; the rates in this record are the April 2026 schedule in effect during the current 2026 research period. Residential garbage is billed separately at $21.69 per month including fees and sales tax under the current AmeriWaste contract.. Bills are generated monthly, on a tier schedule. bills are generated on monthly meter cycles, with payment due approximately 15 business days after the bill date. the city states that read-to-bill timing is currently approximately 37 days while it works toward a 15-day gap, and customers receive a bill based on actual consumption rather than an estimated monthly allowance except when a meter cannot be read., and a typical residential cost reference is Using the April 2026 3/4-inch residential schedule, 5,000 gallons is approximately $33.74 water ($9.69 base + 3×$3.25 + 2×$7.15) and $38.37 sewer ($17.38 base + 3×$3.13 + 2×$5.80), plus the current $21.69 monthly residential garbage charge, or approximately $93.80 before any other account-specific charges. At 7,000 gallons, the corresponding estimate is $48.04 water + $49.97 sewer + $21.69 garbage, approximately $119.70. These are planning estimates only: the City does not publish a separate residential drainage charge on the current utility rate page, and actual sewer usage is capped at 10,000 gallons.. 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

League City does not separately meter residential sewer. Sewer volume is based on the same metered water consumption used for the bill, subject to a 10,000-gallon sewer cap because outdoor irrigation, pools, and other uses may not enter the sanitary system. For April 2026, the residential sewer base is $17.38 for 3/4-inch-and-larger service; sewer volume is $3.13 per 1,000 gallons for 0-3,000 and $5.80 per 1,000 gallons for 3,001-10,000. The current FAQ explains that a 5,000-gallon water cycle therefore produces 5,000 gallons of sewer billing, while the cap limits higher consumption.

Meter and infrastructure notes

League City uses transmitted residential 3/4-inch and 1-inch Sensus iPERL meters and provides a separate Sensus Analytics Water Usage Tracker. The tracker displays the last transmitted meter reading with its date and time, current-period and historical usage, daily and billing-cycle views, and data downloads. Customers can view 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day, 12-month, or custom ranges and configure email or text usage alerts, including a vacation alert. The City states that meters are read monthly by geographic billing cycle, bills actual rather than routinely estimated consumption, and bills in thousands of gallons; it publishes read dates by cycle but does not promise a universal radio-transmission interval beyond the transmitted reading shown in the tracker.
