Utilities

All properties within Beaumont are billed for water and wastewater (sewer) services. Residential properties (excluding multi-family properties, rental buildings) are also billed for curbside garbage, organics and recycling collection. Renters will need to pay City utilities through the property owner, as only Titled Owners can set up utility accounts.

Payments

Your utility bill consists of the following:

• Water: flat meter rate (based on the size of your water meter) plus a variable fee based on consumption
• Sewer treatment: a flat fee plus a variable fee based on consumption
• Curbside collection: a flat fee
• Stormwater drainage: a flat fee

The City bills every 2 months and mails them out in: January, March, May, July, September, November.

Please note that your first bill will also have a one-time administration/connection fee.

Late penalties

It’s your responsibility to pay on time to avoid penalties. If you haven’t received your utility bill, please contact Beaumont’s Administration Office to get a copy.

The penalty is 2.6%, which is applied the next business day after the due date identified on the utility bill. After 90 days of an overdue account, the owner will receive a letter notifying them that the outstanding balance (plus a $30 fee) will be added to their property tax bill.
