What types of utility charges can Quikwater bill?

Quikwater bills water, sewer, and refuse charges, plus any additional fee types you define yourself. It is built for small to medium sized rural and municipal utilities, so it fits an organization that needs one system to handle several charge categories on the same customer bill rather than separate tools for each service.

The charge types Quikwater handles

The system is described as handling water charges as its core function, with sewer and refuse included as standard billing categories. Beyond those, it supports user-defined charges, which means you can add fee types that are specific to your utility without waiting for a software change.

What "user-defined charges" means in practice

A user-defined charge is a fee line you configure yourself. If your utility bills for something outside water, sewer, and refuse — a recurring service fee, a special assessment, or another charge your customers see — you add it as a defined charge type instead of tracking it outside the billing system. The practical effect is that one bill can carry multiple charge categories for the same account.

Rate and bill format flexibility

Quikwater supports flexible rate structures and modifiable bill formats. Flexible rates matter when different customer classes or usage tiers are billed differently, and modifiable formats matter when you need the printed or emailed bill to match how your utility presents charges. Both are listed as billing features rather than add-ons.

Related billing capabilities

The billing side also includes online bill pay and email billing, transaction rollback capability, and printing of mailing labels and demand letters. On the accounting side, the system provides automatic month end close out, historical billing and account history reports, and deposits, cash transactions, and adjustment reports. These matter if your question is not just what you can bill, but how you collect and reconcile it.

Meter reading options that feed billing

If your charges are based on meter reads, Quikwater lists radio read support for Sensus, Neptune, EZRoute, Boson, VersaProbe, Neptune Equinox II–IV (Neptune 360), Badger Connect/Orion, Hersey EZ Reader, American Water Co., Itron MV-RS, Badger Beacon, Tesla RG3 Meters, Kamstrup, and Zenner. For utilities without electronic meters, an iPad interface is available for manual readings, so you can enter reads without typing them all in by hand each month.

How to confirm it covers your specific charges

Because user-defined charges are configurable rather than a fixed list, the reliable way to check coverage is to request a quote or a free demo and bring your actual charge types with you. Quikwater is offered by TAK Technology, founded in 1983 and a New Mexico corporation, and the site lists three versions to meet different needs. Pricing is not published on the page evidence provided, so confirm cost and version fit directly rather than assuming a tier.
