Average Utility Costs in Beaverton, OR

Estimated monthly utility costs (1,000 kWh + 5,000 gal)

Average monthly utility costs in Beaverton, OR are about $338.65, based on 1,000 kWh of electricity and 5,000 gallons of water. This estimate uses Portland General Electric (PGE) for electric service and then adds the local water, wastewater, and solid waste structure that shapes what households actually budget.

Beaverton quick take

  • Electric service is based on Portland General Electric (PGE), while sewer and surface-water charges in Beaverton are heavily shaped by the regional Clean Water Services system rather than a simple city-only wastewater fee.
  • Wastewater in Beaverton is not always a straight current-month water calculation, which is one reason sewer stays noticeable at about $66.95/month in this comparison.
  • Trash is shown as a clearly labeled baseline estimate where the public service setup is easier to confirm than one simple citywide monthly fee, especially in franchise-hauler markets.
  • Beaverton is especially useful for comparison because local water charges sit alongside regional sewer and surface-water billing, and trash service still depends on the hauler tied to your address.

FAQ

Beaverton uses wastewater rules that can depend on winter-average water use, default household assumptions, or utility-specific formulas rather than just matching the exact current month's outdoor watering. That is why sewer is called out separately instead of being treated as a simple add-on.
Many Oregon cities use franchised private haulers or address-based service zones for solid waste rather than one universal municipal trash fee. That means the best public comparison number is sometimes a clearly labeled baseline estimate when the city confirms the service structure but not a single simple monthly cart price for every home.
We use base charges and per-unit rates from official provider pages. Electric = base + (rate × assumed kWh). Water = base + (rate per 1,000 gal × assumed gallons / 1,000). Sewer is either a flat fee or a percentage of water. Trash is a fixed monthly fee. See the Methodology page for full formulas.
Actual bills depend on your usage, seasonal rates, taxes, fees, and provider-specific rules. Our estimates use fixed assumed usage (e.g., 1,000 kWh, 5,000 gal) for comparison. Your home may use more or less.
Each component shows a 'last verified' date. We aim to update from official sources periodically; always confirm current rates on the provider's site before making decisions.
