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.

Trash: Service charges vary depending on the amount of cans on the property. The charge is billed monthly whether or not the resident places cans for pick-up during the billing cycle. This is in accordance to the Chino Hills Municipal Code 13.20.050.

Sewer: A flat-rate service charge will be added to each account that is connected to the City sewer lines. Charges are based on the elevation of the home, depending on gravity flow, or pumped flow.
