Utility Billing
The City of Toledo Municipal Code establishes and regulates the City's water system and requires that all rates and charges to be paid by users be fixed by resolution of the City Council.
The City collects a facilities charge, service charge and water use charge from all water users. The facilities charge is $4.00 per unit with one unit equaling one 5/8-inch meter equivalent. The charge is increased by the following meter equivalent factor for any meter larger than the 5/8-inch minimum size:
| Capacity Factors | Meter Size Equivalent |
| 5/8 inch | 1 |
| 3/4 inch | 1.5 |
| 1 inch | 2.6 |
| 1 1/4 inches | 4.1 |
| 1 1/2 inches | 5.9 |
| 2 inches | 10.5 |
| 3 inches | 23.6 |

| 6 inches | 94.3 |
| 8 inches | 167.5 |
| 10 inches | 261.0 |
| 12 inches | 377.0 |
The service charge is $1.60 per meter. The water use charge is $1.75 for each 1,000 gallons of water used.
