FTP BD is the date the bank-draft file is transmitted to the bank.

🔒

Cut Off

The cutoff date is the date service will be turned off for nonpayment.

Bank draft tip: because the ACH file is transmitted two working days before due date, paying manually after the file is sent may not stop the automatic draft. Call 281-554-1335 before the FTP BD date when a change is needed.

High League City Water Bill: Water Tracker, Leak Adjustment and Common Causes

📈

Use Water Tracker

View 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day, 12-month and custom usage ranges, set alerts, compare usage versus rainfall and download data.

🚿

Check common causes

The City lists leaking toilets, running toilets, irrigation settings, water softener problems, dripping faucets, broken pipes and water heater issues.

🧾

Leak adjustment

Submit the online request with repair tickets/receipts after the high-consumption bill has generated and usage has returned to normal.

High-bill check
What to do
Why it matters
Consumption period
Check bill read dates and Water Tracker usage for the billed period.
The bill may reflect water used weeks earlier, not only recent activity.
Meter read
Verify read in Water Tracker and confirm current read is more than the read on the bill.
If the read is incorrect, contact Utility Billing for correction.
Irrigation settings
Check controller schedule, recent power outage resets and landscaper changes.
Automatic settings are a common cause of high consumption.
Toilet leak
Dye-test toilets and listen for refilling when nobody flushes.
Leaking or running toilets are specifically listed by the City as common causes.
Water softener
Check regeneration cycle and discharge/overflow.
Water softener problems can use water continuously.
Broken pipe or water heater issue
Inspect meter side, water heater, attic/garage lines, yard and visible wet areas.
Hidden plumbing failures can increase both water and sewer charges.
Leak adjustment qualification
Consumption during leak must exceed normal annual average; if less than one year resident, City uses 8,000-gallon average for qualification.
Not every high bill qualifies.
Leak adjustment documents
Submit online request, repair receipt/ticket and details. Leak must generally meet ordinance criteria.
Utility Billing reviews and replies by email within 14 business days after request or bill generation.
Payment during review
Continue paying or make payment arrangements while adjustment is under review.
If enrolled in automatic payments, the full balance processes on due date unless removed from auto pay.
High-bill script: “My League City utility bill increased from [normal usage] to [new usage]. I checked the Water Tracker, irrigation schedule, toilets, faucets, water softener, water heater and service line. I repaired [issue] on [date] and have [receipt]. Can you explain whether this qualifies for leak adjustment and what I must pay while it is reviewed?”

Garbage, Recycling and AmeriWaste Charges on the Utility Bill

Billing office handles charges

The Utility Billing Office handles water, sewage and garbage billing. Garbage appears on the utility bill even though pickup is performed by AmeriWaste.

2025 contract change

As of May 1, 2025, League City entered a new AmeriWaste contract and residential garbage rates increased to $21.69/month including fees and sales tax.
