Provider briefing
How this utility’s billing works
City of Bremerton Water Department - Utility Billing operates as a municipal department serving Bremerton. 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 Meter-size monthly service charge plus residential commodity charge per hundred cubic feet. The 2026 rate schedule also has low-income, senior, and disabled-citizen rate classes; Bremerton water source is a mix of Union River Reservoir surface water and groundwater wells.. Bills are generated monthly, with east and west reading cycles. residential sewer uses a winter average created from october through march reading periods and applied to summer sewer consumption., and a typical residential cost reference is For a general-service 5/8-by-3/4-inch meter, the 2026 monthly water service charge is $16.85. The current rate PDF exposes the residential commodity charge per HCF, but the accessible excerpt does not show the numeric commodity line; therefore a defensible 5,000-to-7,000-gallon total is not publicly stated without the full table's exact charge. Sewer adds a $42.62 single-family base plus $5.73 per HCF.. 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
Single-family wastewater is $42.62 per month plus $5.73 per HCF; sewer usage is based on water consumption. In summer, the City uses the customer's October-through-March winter average: for example, 15 HCF summer water use with a 5-HCF winter average produces 15 HCF water billing but only 5 HCF sewer billing.
Meter and infrastructure notes
Bremerton uses Sensus Flexnet, with the City's service pages providing a dedicated meter-reading video and usage tracking. Residential east and west cycles read on different calendars; the 2026 winter-average schedule specifies October-through-March read windows used for summer sewer billing.
