Understand Glendale Water, Sewer, Trash and Recycling Charges
Water charges
Glendale utility bills show water usage in thousands of gallons. Example: 6 = 6,000 gallons. Monthly water charges include a base service charge and a water-use charge.
Sewer charges
Sewer includes a base service charge plus a usage charge based on water consumption during January, February and March. The new sewer charge starts with the May bill.
Trash and recycling
The City lists a $29.75 per household per month base for weekly refuse, weekly recycling, monthly loose trash and related container/landfill services.
High Glendale Water Bill: Fast Leak, Sewer and Usage Check
Indoor leak check
Check toilets, flappers, faucets, softeners, water heaters, irrigation valves, pool auto-fill and silent leaks. Glendale customers can also request conservation resources and leak-detection help.
Outdoor desert-use check
Check landscape irrigation, stuck valves, drip systems, pool filling, hose bibs and water running into the street. Summer use can increase quickly in Glendale.
Sewer average check
If the sewer portion changed on the May bill, review January, February and March water use. The City allows an appeal if a leak or continued irrigation affected the winter average.
| What changed | Likely reason | What to prepare before calling |
|---|---|---|
| Water usage jumped | Leak, irrigation, pool refill, more people at home, meter read change or seasonal watering. | Current bill, prior bills, usage month, repair photos and plumber/irrigation receipts. |
| Sewer changed but current use did not | Annual sewer adjustment based on January–March water consumption. | Review winter bills and use the official sewer appeal route if leak/irrigation affected the average. |
| Total increased but water did not | Trash base charge, irrigation, deposit, setup fee, prior balance or payment posting issue. | Separate each line item before calling Customer Service. |
| Payment not showing | Mail/drop-box timing, pending payment, wrong account number, weekend/holiday posting or portal authorization delay. | Save confirmation, amount, date, account number and payment method. |
