Coffeyville 2026 Commercial Water Rates: Meter, Location, and First-Bill Checks
Coffeyville’s July 2026 commercial water rates vary by meter bracket and service location. Model 100,000 versus 80,000 gallons and check mixed first bills.
Direct answer
Effective July 1, 2026, Coffeyville commercial water bills depend on service location and meter bracket: the customer charge includes 1,000 gallons, then added use is $7.07/kgal in town or $9.25/kgal outside. First bills can mix old and new rates. A declared in-town 3–8-inch water-only model changes by $141.40 between 100,000 and 80,000 gallons.

The schedule applies to all customers, but the customer charge and usage rate are not the same for every account. Confirm each field before estimating the first new-rate bill.
| Bill or cycle | What a commercial account should verify |
|---|---|
| In town: 5/8–2 inch | $18.21 customer charge, including the first 1,000 gallons. |
| In town: 3–8 inch | $93.29 customer charge, including the first 1,000 gallons. |
| Outside town: 5/8–2 inch | $36.42 customer charge, including the first 1,000 gallons. |
| Outside town: 3–8 inch | $186.58 customer charge, including the first 1,000 gallons. |
| Added water volume | $7.07/kgal in town or $9.25/kgal outside after the included 1,000 gallons. |
| Private fire protection | $6 per month when the account has this separate service. |
| Cycle 3 | First new-rate bill issued August 5 and due August 25; check for a mixed old/new period. |
| Cycle 1 | First new-rate bill issued August 15 and due September 8; check for a mixed old/new period. |

Who is affected
The July schedule applies to commercial and industrial accounts
Coffeyville’s official rate page and Ordinance G-26-05 set the schedule for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City’s FAQ says commercial and industrial customers are affected along with other customer types.
The page does not assume every account’s bill increased by the same amount. The actual effect depends on service location, meter bracket, billed volume, separate services, and whether the first statement spans old and new rate periods.
Customer charge
Meter bracket and service location set the charge that includes 1,000 gallons
In-town accounts with a 5/8-inch through 2-inch meter have an $18.21 customer charge; the in-town 3-inch through 8-inch bracket is $93.29. Outside-town equivalents are $36.42 and $186.58.
The first 1,000 gallons are included in that charge. They are not a separate free allowance, and lowering usage does not remove the customer charge in the model below.
Usage line
One location-specific rate applies after the first 1,000 gallons
The City says the new structure replaces declining volume blocks with one rate for additional use: $7.07 per 1,000 gallons in town and $9.25 outside town.
Do not blend those rates or transfer an in-town example to an outside-town account. The utility’s customer location and meter record control which customer charge and usage rate belong on the bill.
Separate services
Private fire protection and non-water lines stay outside the usage model
Ordinance G-26-05 lists a separate $6 monthly charge for private fire protection. That charge is conditional on the service and is not included in the declared commercial water-only example.
Sewer, stormwater, taxes, penalties, deposits, adjustments, proration, and other services are also outside the calculation. A commercial review should identify each line before calling any difference controllable.
First-bill timing
Three billing cycles reach the new schedule on different dates
The City lists the first new-rate bill for cycle 3 on August 5, cycle 1 on August 15, and cycle 2 on August 25, with due dates of August 25, September 8, and September 15 respectively.
The notice says some first bills may contain both old and new rates. This page does not invent a proration method. Compare the service dates and line treatment on the actual statement before reconciling it to the new schedule.
Smart Valve analysis — water-only example
One declared in-town 3–8-inch-bracket account
Compare 100,000 with 80,000 gallons using the $93.29 customer charge and the $7.07/kgal in-town rate after the first 1,000 gallons.
Scroll the table horizontally to compare all columns.
| Included water line | 100,000 gal | 80,000 gal | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–8-inch customer charge | $93.29 | $93.29 | $0.00 |
| Post-1,000-gallon use | $699.93 | $558.53 | $141.40 |
| Modeled water total | $793.22 | $651.82 | $141.40 |
Only the post-1,000-gallon usage row changes. The model excludes private fire protection, sewer, stormwater, taxes, penalties, mixed-cycle proration, other services, and account-specific utility adjustments.
20% usage check
$141.40
Qualified water-line difference at 20% lower volume
Moving the declared account from 100,000 to 80,000 gallons changes the included usage line by $141.40 while the $93.29 customer charge remains.
Boundary: This is a water-only illustration, not a Coffeyville bill quote or savings promise. It assumes an in-town 3–8-inch-bracket account under one new-rate period and excludes every line named above plus site feasibility.
Decision checklist
What to check first on the bill
- 1Confirm whether the service is in town or outside town.
- 2Record the utility meter bracket: 5/8–2 inch or 3–8 inch.
- 3Verify the customer charge and that it includes the first 1,000 gallons.
- 4Apply only the matching $7.07 or $9.25 post-1,000-gallon rate.
- 5Identify any separate private-fire-protection line.
- 6Match the statement to cycle 1, 2, or 3 and inspect the service dates for mixed old/new treatment.
- 7Keep sewer, stormwater, taxes, penalties, adjustments, and other services outside a water-only estimate.
Scope boundary
Where Smart Valve realistically fits
Smart Valve may help an operator evaluate controllable metered water volume after the account’s location, meter bracket, pressure conditions, operating uses, and billing period are confirmed. The example isolates only the verified water usage line.
Smart Valve does not change the customer charge, private-fire charge, service location, meter bracket, utility rate, sewer, stormwater, taxes, penalties, or first-bill proration. No result or device fit is guaranteed.

Start with service location, meter bracket, billing cycle, old/new-rate service dates, gallons, and any private-fire line. Treat $141.40 as a declared water-only model difference, not promised savings.
