We are thrilled that you are considering Uptown Square as your new home! As a community dedicated to providing an exceptional experience, we believe in complete transparency, especially when it comes to utility charges. We want you to feel confident and informed about how this process works. This page is designed to help you better understand our utility charge system.
What are Utility Charges?
Utility charges cover the costs of essential services that keep our community running smoothly. These services include water, sewer, trash removal, and other shared amenities. Because utility charges are based on individual usage and can vary each month, they are billed separately from your rent.
How are Utility Charges Calculated?
Water, sewer, trash, electric, and stormwater charges are allocated using a blended formula that considers both your apartment’s square footage and the number of occupants residing in the home. These calculations apply solely to your individual apartment and do not include usage from common areas or irrigation systems.
Gas service is allocated based on the square footage of your apartment.
Internet is provided at a flat monthly rate of $31.23.
How and When Will You Be Billed?
Your utility charges will appear on separate line items in your monthly statement. This statement will be sent monthly, making it easy to see the breakdown of each charge.
Uptown Square Billing Cycle
Our billing cycle runs from the 1st to the last day of each month. You'll receive your monthly statement by the 5th of the following month, giving you ample time to plan your budget. The payment for utility charges is due along with your rent on the specified due date.
Monitoring Your Usage
We want to help you manage your utility expenses effectively, so we encourage you to:
Be Mindful: You can make a difference! Be mindful of your water usage, turn off faucets when not needed, and report any leaks promptly.
Energy-Efficiency: Consider using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs to keep your electricity usage in check.
Let Us Know: Our maintenance team is here to help. If you notice any water leaks or plumbing issues, let us know so we can address them promptly.
