Quick Alliance Water/Sewer Bill Estimate Tool
Use this for a quick planning estimate using the official 2026–2027 example rates shown by the City. This is not an official bill.
This estimate uses simple official examples and a 300-cubic-foot minimum. Real bills can include trash service choice, adjustments, penalties, deposits, special service charges or account-specific items.
How to Check for a Leak Before Calling
Stop all water use
Turn off inside and outside faucets, appliances, toilets, irrigation and anything else using water.
Look for the red leak detector
The City says the meter has a little red dial on the bottom-left area of the meter face. It spins when water is being used.
If it moves, suspect a leak
If no water is being used and the red dial moves at all, the City says something is leaking in the house.
Most common culprit
The City says the toilet is often the culprit and you cannot always hear or see it. If the toilet has a shut-off valve, shut off the toilet supply and recheck the leak detector.
Free dye packs
The water office has dye packs available at no cost to help detect toilet tank leaks.
Vacant House, Meter Removal and Winter Risk
Minimum bill can continue
The City says as long as there is a meter in the house and water is on at the curb box, a minimum water bill continues even if no water is used.
Meter removal option
For long vacancies, you can arrange to have the meter removed and the water turned off at the curb box to avoid minimum bills.
Frozen meter risk
If a vacant house has no heat in winter, the meter can freeze and break. The City lists a $45 charge for a frozen meter.
Trash Charges Included on the Water Statement
Alliance’s utilities page says trash service in the City of Alliance is offered by Kimble Companies and included in the monthly water statement.
| Garbage item | Proposed 7/1/2026 to 6/30/2027 inside-city rate example | Why users care |
|---|---|---|
| Standard service | $21.33 | Most common monthly trash line-item example. |
| Backdoor service | $37.86 | Higher-cost service option for backdoor pickup. |
| Bag service for seniors 65+ | $10.96, requires using Kimble bags. | Lower service category but depends on eligibility and bag use. |
| Kimble bags | $0.88 per bag | Applies to bag-service planning. |
| Additional carts | $3.75 monthly | Useful for households needing more trash capacity. |
| Cart replacement / delivery | $100 replacement, $15 delivery. | Important if the cart is lost, damaged or a new delivery is needed. |
Local Alliance Tips That Generic Pages Miss
Do not wait until the 24th
Due dates usually fall between the 20th and 24th. If you mail a payment, send it early enough to be received, not just postmarked.
ACH is not instant
The automatic debit plan can take 6–8 weeks. Keep paying manually until the bill clearly says the payment will be deducted.
Final readings need 24 hours
Moving or selling? Call ahead because the City needs notice, a current reading and a forwarding address to create the final bill.
Toilet leaks can be silent
The City specifically notes toilets are often the culprit and leaks cannot always be heard or seen.
Vacant winter houses need attention
A frozen meter can create damage and a charge. If a house is vacant with no heat, ask about meter removal/curb-box shutoff.
Use the right water number
Billing, distribution and water quality have different numbers. Calling the correct office saves time and avoids repeated transfers.
