3. Can I request my water bill for a specific date or cycle?

No. The City reads the water meters according to a route reading schedule. This schedule fixes the time the meters are read, and when the utility bill is prepared and due.

4. How can I better understand my utility bill?

All utility services are combined on one monthly bill. 

Water: There is a water service charge for being connected to the City water lines, regardless of whether water is used throughout the billing cycle or not. When water is used, consumption is billed per CCF (hundred cubic foot), in addition to the connection charge. 

Sewer: A pass-through fee set by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency is added to each account and a flat-rate service charge which is based on the elevation of the home, depending on gravity flow, or pumped flow.
