Complete Water Utility Guide
New Utility Service Activation
Starting your water and sewer account in Breckenridge is a simple task handled at City Hall. New applicants must provide a valid government-issued ID and a proof of occupancy, such as a utility lease. A standard residential deposit of $150 is required, which is fully refundable once you close your account and settle any final charges. Our service technicians aim to activate all new meters within 24 hours of your application being approved. If you are moving from another Texas city, please let our clerks know, as we may have local coordination programs for active-duty military or senior citizens.
Payment Methods and Billing Cycles
We strive to make settling your bill as convenient as possible. Statements are mailed on the 1st of each month and are due by the 15th. We provide several ways to pay: in-person at our front counter, over the phone using our automated system, or via our secure website. If you find yourself away from home, our web portal is available 24/7. We also offer an 'Auto-Pay' program where your bank account is drafted on the due date, ensuring you never miss a payment or incur a late fee.
Delinquency Procedures and Shut-Off Policy
Prompt payment ensures your household utility services remain uninterrupted. Accounts not paid in full by the 15th are subject to a 10% penalty. If an account remains unpaid for more than 30 days, it is placed on our disconnection list. Before any water shut-off occurs, we make a courtesy call to the number on file. If service is disconnected for non-payment, you will be required to pay the total balance due, plus a $50 service restoration fee. We prioritize reconnections during business hours to ensure your plumbing system is correctly pressured upon restart.
Water Conservation and Usage Monitoring
Our arid West Texas climate makes water conservation a vital part of our community life. To help you manage your monthly costs, we offer a free water usage summary on every bill, allowing you to compare your current usage against previous months. If your bill is unusually high, we suggest performing a 'dye test' on your toilets to check for silent leaks. If you suspect your meter is faulty, you may request a formal test; however, if the meter is found to be accurate, a $25 testing fee will be applied to your account.
