About Us

Mission

Provide accurate water and wastewater billing information for our customers through a knowledgeable and friendly service staff.

Departmental Responsibilities

The Utility Billing Department is in charge of making sure the residents of Cedar Park have the best service possible for the maintenance of billing for city utilities. Establishing new accounts, modifying existing ones or just answering questions regarding services, utility billing is often the first stop for new residents and one department everyone who lives in Cedar Park will have contact with.

In order to assist you, we have created this outline of utility billing procedures and policies. We hope this will provide any information you need. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Utility Billing Office.

Cycles

The City of Cedar Park service area is divided into 4 billing cycles, based on geographic location. Because your cycle is determined by where you live, you cannot change cycles. Bills are mailed once per month according to the following schedule:

  • Cycle 1 billing mailed on the 17th, due by the 2nd
  • Cycle 2 billing mailed on the 24th, due by the 9th
  • Cycle 3 billing mailed on the 1st, due by the 16th
  • Cycle 4 billing mailed on the 8th, due by the 23rd

All bills are due by 5 pm on the due date. Payments made after the due date are late and are subject to a 10% penalty.

Late (Termination) notices will be mailed the day after the due date to all accounts having a balance as of 5 pm. This notice will give you a final due date by which to pay the overdue balance. If payment is not received before this disconnect date, service(s) will be suspended. If this occurs, a $50 reconnect fee must be paid before the service may be restored.

Note: Never turn on your water service after the City has disconnected it. A $50 fee can be assessed for tampering with a meter. This is a felony in the State of Texas

Refund Policy

Upon termination of water service (and wastewater service if such service is provided by the city), such portion of the deposit as is not required to pay for damages to the water meter, accrued service charges, penalties, library fines, city property taxes, and court-imposed fines for which a final judgment has been issued, shall be refunded to the customer.

Changes to Accounts

All changes to customer accounts must be made in writing to the utility department. Any requests for voluntary disconnection of service must also provide a forwarding address.
